Supporters of a petition drive to overturn a smoking ban adopted by the Topeka City Council have begun offering a Web site at topekansagainsttheban.com, said Topekan Gail Trembley, one of the drive's organizers.

Petitions can't be signed on the site, though it can be used to download petitions or donate money to the effort.
