The Colorado Legislature will take another look at a statewide smoking ban in public places in the 2006 session that started Jan. 11.

Rep. Mike May, R-Denver, and Sen. Dan Grossman, D-Denver, reintroduced the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act on Wednesday.

Grossman first introduced the bill in 2005, but it was killed.

Both bills call for the prohibition of smoking in enclosed indoor areas ranging from public meeting space, grocery stores and elevators to city buses, restaurants/bars and child day-care facilities.
