Six questions with the attorney fighting Kansas’ smoking ban

In six days, Kansas’ ban on smoking goes into effect in a majority of the Sunflower State’s restaurants and watering holes. Bar and restaurant owners (and, of course, libertarians) are bristling about the state stamping out smoking, especially provisions in the bill that allow gamblers in state-owned casinos and blue-haired bingo players to keep puffing.

Topeka lawyer Tuck Duncan has filed suit on behalf of four establishments, initially seeking a temporary injunction to stop the law. He answered a few questions about his argument against the ban.
