The proposed smoking ban expansion in Marion County has far reaching ramifications and opponents have already begun to spark up debate.

The proposed ban is a comprehensive one, smoking in bars restaurants, clubs and bowling alleys would be off limits, something that's been thoroughly considered by council members who are introducing it.

Recent data gathered and published by IUPUI suggests residents in Marion County are also behind the initiative. The survey shows nearly 70% of adults would support a comprehensive ban. Another 43% say they would continue to go out to bars and restaurants even if they could no longer inhale.
