Smoking ban gets governor's approval

Of course this is old news. However, I'm really happy about it. I will be much more likely to visit bars once this smoking ban goes into effect.

The smoke in New Mexico bars and restaurants will soon fade into oblivion under a statewide smoking ban signed this morning by Gov. Bill Richardson.

The measure prohibits smoking in all workplaces across the state, including bars and restaurants. It takes effect June 15. Individuals violating the ban would face a $100 fine for a first violation.
