ARDMORE, OK -- An Oklahoma state senator hopes to give local communities more control over smoking standards.
Senator Frank Simpson filed a bill Wednesday that would allow each government subdivision o adopt a smoking policy they see fit for their area.
Currently, Oklahoma cities and towns are not allowed to enforce a stricter smoking ordinance than the state law.
Simpson says he thinks citizens should have the ability to set their own standard when it comes to tobacco products and secondhand smoke.
The bill will be taken up by the senate committee when the legislature meets Monday February 6th.
