| Description | BATON ROUGE -- A proposed ban on smoking in restaurants passed the Senate on Monday after a lawmaker inserted the ban into a separate bill that dealt only with smoking inside cars and trucks.
The original bill prohibited adults from smoking inside a car or truck if young children are inside.
But the Senate unanimously approved Sen. Rob Marionneaux's surprise move to add provisions that would ban smoking inside restaurants. As it stands now, the measure would prohibit smoking in all restaurants' dining areas but allow smoking in bars and casinos, cigar shops, and hotel and motel rooms. Smoking would be allowed in restaurant barrooms that are separate from dining areas.
