A Smoking Ban May Finally Pass NH House

State lawmakers Tuesday are expected to take up legislation banning smoking in restaurants and bars.

Similar legislation has come before the House in previous sessions, but this year it seems to have enough support to pass.

One business organization backing the bill is also one of the largest in the state.....the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

Robin Comstock is the Chamber's President.

She tolds NHPR's Mark Bevis that her group is not breaking with the business community, but is, in fact, speaking for it.
