Intro: An Indianapolis bar has reverted to its old smoking policy, just three weeks after it had implemented a ban in anticipation of the City-County Council passing a comprehensive ban.
Metro Nightclub managers thought they were being proactive by going smoke-free about a month before the council vote, but lighting up is again allowed a week after the council vote was tabled, 6News' Sarah Cornell reported.
