Nevada Tavern Owners File Smoking Ban Appeal
KRNV-TV—Reno, NV

Las Vegas bar owners want the Nevada Supreme Court to snuff out a judge's ruling upholding the state's recently enacted smoking ban.

The Nevada Tavern Owners' Association filed a notice of appeal this week, and plans to follow with documents stating legal grounds for the challenge to Question Five. That's the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act. It was passed by voters who oppose smoking in Nevada restaurants, grocery stores and bars that serve food. The law makes an exception for casinos.

The association has 120 days to file its legal arguments. Lawyers for Clark County bar and tavern owners lost a bid to have the measure declared unconstitutional when a Clark County District Court judge upheld civil penalties subjecting smokers and bar owners to a $100 civil fine.

The Southern Nevada Health District says it's gotten nearly two thousand complaints from citizens regarding businesses failing to comply with the measure.
