The city of Richmond, Ky. will debate an indoor smoking ban tomorrow, after the Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a countywide smoking ban in June.

The court ruled that only elected officials had the authority to enact smoking bans, so the Madison County smoking ban, enacted by the county’s health department, was declared invalid.

Richmond is the seat of the central Kentucky county with a population over 30,000.
