Gerard Lovett, who owns the Copper Kettle Pub in Kilnaleck, was also ordered to pay costs of just over €1,000 at Ballyjamesduff District Court.

State Question 713 would increase the tobacco tax to fund health-care projects. Proponents say the tax would also discourage smoking, especially among children. Speaking at a rally of trauma-care survivors in Oklahoma City, Henry says tobacco companies are interested in their profits, not the health of Oklahomans. Opponents of State Question 713 say the ads are not incorrect and that the proposal isn't a health care issue.

Sometimes, they are downright optimistic. Here's one we like: In a smoke-free room somewhere in Salt Lake City, a plot was hatched to take on the tobacco industry's troubling success in luring more young people, particularly gay and lesbian young people, into the smoking habit. Representatives from the Utah Department of Health, the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Utah and the Jordan School District were rightly alarmed by Centers for Disease Control data that show gay people between the ages of 18 and 24 are almost twice as likely as their straight peers to smoke.

As the lone council member to vote against the proposed smoking bylaw, Mayor Vern Hartwell temporarily delayed final passage. Tough new limits on smokers, eventually including those in bars and lounges, are expected to pass next week.
