CARSON CITY, Nev.—The Nevada Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the constitutionality of the state's indoor smoking ban, but rejected criminal enforcement of the voter approved measure.
In their 34-page opinion, the justices found in favor of civil actions against violators of the ban, but ruled that that Clark County District Judge Doug Herndon properly found criminal enforcement unconstitutional. They rejected arguments from the state attorney general's office appealing that finding.
