Crestview Hills will ask for smoking ban 

Crestview Hills City Council will be asking Kenton, Campbell and Boone fiscal courts to pass a smoking ban in indoor public places.

The council passed a resolution urging the fiscal courts to enact the ban at the regular meeting Thursday Nov. 12. The resolution passed 4-3 with a tie break vote cast by Mayor Paul Meier.

The city plans to send the resolution to all three fiscal courts.

"It's the right thing to do for the public," Meier said. "Drinking is legal; drinking and driving is not legal. Yes, you have a right to smoke, but you don't have a right to smoke if it's going to harm someone else."

Council member Thomas Moser cast one of the three dissenting votes on council.
