INDIANAPOLIS -- The State of Indiana is one step closer to being smoke-free.
The Senate passed a statewide smoking ban on Wednesday, but there are several exemptions.
Some include bars, casinos, tobacco stores, and nursing homes.
The House passed a more restrictive bill last month. Now, lawmakers need to hammer it out.
St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties already have smoking bans in place.
