KIRKWOOD, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) -
Kirkwood City Council voted down a measure that would have banned smoking in restaurants and bars in the St. Louis County community. The vote took place late Thursday night.
Supporters were hoping a change in the measure, allowing for "smoking patios" at restaurants and bars, would garner support among council members. A previous ban, that was voted down by the public, banned smoking within a certain distance of the door, making patio smoking illegal as well.
There are enough signatures to put a ban on the November ballot now that council members have refused to pass it.
