FRANKFORT, Ky. City leaders in Frankfort are asking restaurants to ban smoking.
The Frankfort city commission adopted a resolution 4-to-one this week that would request restaurants and other businesses that serve food to voluntarily ban smoking.
The resolution is a request and is not enforceable.
The city is studying the need for a smoking ban ordinance.
Commissioner Rodney Williams voted against the measure on Monday, saying he could not vote to ban something that is legal.
Several other Kentucky cities and counties -- including Lexington and Louisville -- have enacted or are considering some form of smoking ban.

I'm really not surprised at this, now that I think of it.
I used to spend a fair amount of time in Frankfort, loved it and the people ( not to mention a certain Southern Belle ) it was a unique place then. I'm glad to see it still is.
