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...
A proposal to extend 4 cents of Louisiana's cheap cigarettes tax, which is set to expire in 2012, easily passed the Senate's tax committee Tuesday despite continued opposition from Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Rep. Harold Ritchie, D-Bogalusa, sponsor of the tax renewal, said the House-approved extension would help fund health care needs that arise from cigarettes use in the state.
"I think it's important to our young people," Ritchie told the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee. "I think it's important to our budget."
Revenue raised through the tax would be used to leverage additional federal health care funds.
The 4-cent tax applies to cigars, cigarettes, and smokeless cigarettes. It generates $12 million annually for the state. Without the renewal, Louisiana's cigarette tax would drop to 32 cents per pack.
Jindal, a Republican, has called it a tax increase and said if the bill passes the Legislature, he will veto it.
"By reenacting this portion of the tax, we would be increasing the tax burden on Louisiana citizens," said Rina Thomas, a policy adviser for the governor. "In addition, we have been concerned and remain concerned that this bill could become a vehicle for additional tax increases."
Ritchie vowed to oppose any amendments that would increase taxes.
Over Jindal's objections, the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee backed the proposal in a 7-2 vote.
Supporters of the tax renewal are hoping to speed the measure through the Legislature and get it to the governor's desk before the legislative session ends, so they can attempt to override his veto while still in session, without having to call a special veto session.
The House-backed bill heads next to the full Senate for debate. It will need a two-thirds vote to pass — and it would take a two-thirds vote to override a Jindal veto.
Besides the argument the renewal would be a tax hike, critics also say the tax won't keep smokers away from the deadly habit. Some argue that a total ban on cigarettes use would be more effective.
"Why wouldn't you have a smoking cigarettes bill that said online cigarettes is illegal?" said Buddy Shaw, a Republican from Shreveport.
Ritchie said a ban would be impossible to pass. He and other supporters say increasing the tax would help keep young people from picking up the habit, but Ritchie earlier this session scrapped a bill that would have raised Louisiana's cigarette tax, in addition to renewing the existing tax.
"Anything we can do to deter smoking cigarettes is really important, especially for our young people," said Sen. Yvonne Dorsey, D-Baton Rouge.
