The Nevada Supreme Court has cleared the way for a ballot question on banning indoor smoking to go before voters this fall, the Las Vegas Sun reported Sept. 8.

The Clean Indoor Air Act, backed by healthcare organizations, was challenged in court by a coalition of casinos, bars and convenience stores, who charged that the question was unconstitutionally vague. But the state's highest court rejected the lawsuit, saying that any challenge before the election should have focused on procedural issues, and that constitutional questions would have to wait until after the election.

Question 5 would ban smoking in most indoor spaces where children are allowed, but hotel and motel rooms would be exempt.
