Question 5 The Nevada Clean Indoor Air ActNevadans had their say on smoking in public places this election, and they chose clean indoor air. Faced with competing initiatives on how to deal with secondhand smoke exposure, Nevadans voted on November 7, 2006 to enact the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act (Question 5).Question 5 received over 54 percent of the vote and will become law within 10 days of its passage and approval. The other initiative, Responsibly Protect Nevadans from Secondhand Smoke (Question 4), received just 48 percent and failed to meet the majority necessary to become law.The Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act will ban smoking in the following places: schools, child care facilities, restaurants, bars that serve food, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, movie theaters, video arcades, retail establishments, and government buildings. See below for specific smoking restrictions for each location.The act will not ban smoking on gaming floors of casinos or in hotel/ motel rooms. Question 5 also permits local governments to adopt regulations more restrictive than state law.Please visit gethealthyclarkcounty.org again in the near future for more information on the implementation of the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act.

One anonymous caller, he said, left a message stating that "you'd better protect this law or we're going to remember this come election time."Herndon said plaintiffs had a "reasonable likelihood of success" in proving the measure (#5) was unconstitutional.
