In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances  A petition entitled Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction
The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public
The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
