Mobile is trying for the 11th year to ban smoking in most public
places in Alabama.
Figures announced her plans Tuesday in Montgomery along with
representatives of several health, religious and medical
organizations that support her bill.
Figures said she will offer the bill when the Legislature
convenes next week. The bill would ban smoking in workplaces and in
restaurants and bars. The Senate has approved the bill in past
sessions, but it has died in the House. Figures and other
supporters said they are optimistic about the upcoming session
because support keeps growing each year.
