Kansas smoking ban in peril regardless of who is elected governor

Kansas smokers, don’t celebrate yet, but there’s hope you won’t have to freeze your asses off to light up every time you go to a bar.

All four Kansas gubernatorial candidates say they believe the statewide ban (excluding, of course, private clubs and state-owned casinos because they’re special) goes too far and should be decided by local governments. The ban has been the subject of lawsuits and bar owner rage since it was implemented in July.
