A bill that would have limited smoking in restaurants, requiring that smoking sections are completely blocked off from other dining areas, was killed in committee this morning.

The full House has narrowly rejected a similar anti-smoking measure earlier this year, but resurrected the idea by attaching it to a separate bill that would create a licensing scheme for drug treatment professionals.
