A surprise bid by the City-County Council president to pass a stronger smoking cigarettes ban covering bars and bowling alleys -- in the waning days of the Republican majority -- has caught two key groups off guard.Democrats had been making plans to push for an even stronger measure after they take control of the council Jan. 1. No matter who's in charge, their votes are vital for passage of an expanded smoking cigarettes ban in any form, since many Republicans are opposed.And anti-smoking cigarettes advocates called the move by Republicans -- with backing from Mayor Greg Ballard --...

Forty-seven years have passed since the surgeon general first reported that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer. Since that time, cigarettes use has greatly declined in Montana and across the nation. Much of this decline is attributed to tobacco-related policy implemented by federal and state governments.Evidence-based policies that decrease the number of youth who start using cheap cigarettes and increase the number of adults who quit using tobacco include: increasing the price of all tobacco products; eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke; and funding comprehensive tobacco-use...
Gov. Bobby Jindal's plan to veto a cigarette tax renewal within days has set off a heavy lobbying scramble among lawmakers and the governor's administration, haggling over expected attempts to override him.
The 4-cent per pack cigarette tax renewal passed the House and Senate with a two-thirds vote, the same amount needed for an override. Jindal is trying to peel off support so he won't face the embarrassment of becoming the first Louisiana governor to have a veto overridden in 20 years.
Republicans are expected to decide the fate of the override.
Supporters of the renewal were working behind the scenes to maintain the needed votes. Jindal and his staff, meanwhile, met with the Republican legislative delegation Wednesday. They said the governor will veto the tax renewal and, according to lawmakers, asked them not to override him.
"He said, 'I'm sticking to my guns on this one, and I'm going to veto the bill, and I hope that you will not override it," said Rep. Jane Smith, R-Bossier City, head of the GOP delegation in the House.
Smith said the governor didn't bring up the cigarette tax at the Republican meeting, but was asked about it by one of the lawmakers while he was there.
Supporters say the renewal will discourage smoking cigarettes and provide needed health care money. Opponents say the tax wasn't intended to be around permanently and won't keep smokers away from the deadly habit.
Jindal, a Republican, equates the renewal to a tax increase. He has until early next week to reject the bill before it becomes law without his action.
The cigarette tax, first enacted 11 years ago, generates $12 million annually. Without approval of the renewal by Rep. Harold Ritchie, D-Bogalusa, the tax will expire in June 2012.
Louisiana's cigarette tax would drop to 32 cents per pack.
Both Democrats and Republicans supported the bill. Democrats and independents voted in a near bloc to support it, but the renewal divided the GOP over whether it is the same as a new tax.
Smith said Republicans who backed the renewal won't necessarily agree to overturn a veto.
"There will be many who voted for the bill who won't vote for the override. I just don't think they think that's an appropriate thing to do," Smith said. "To override is pretty serious."
House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Terrytown, said he would support an override if Jindal doesn't change his mind on the veto. Tucker said he told the GOP delegation at its meeting of his plans.
"I think it's a mistake to lower taxes on cigarettes," Tucker said. "There are a lot of people here, me included, who don't relish an override. But we have constituents to represent."
