Smoking Proposals still possible in November

Two groups with different ideas on regulating smoking in Ohio are continuing to maneuver to put their own proposals on the statewide ballot.

The group that wants to overturn smoking bans is facing a hearing at the Ohio Secretary of State's office Thursday over a technicality. Meanwhile, a group that wants to ban smoking in all public places statewide is being told it needs more signatures.
