Official may renew smoking ban push

CHAMPAIGN – A Champaign City Council member says he's planning to introduce an ordinance next month that calls for banning smoking in all city bars and restaurants.

Giraldo Rosales, an at-large council member, said this week that he has asked the city attorney to draft such an ordinance and that he thinks there might be majority council support for it.
