A lawsuit filed last week seeks to overturn the state's first municipal ban on indoor smoking

From the Island Packet:

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Bert's Bar on Sullivan's Island, seeks to prove that smoking bans on the municipal level are prohibited under state law. In the suit, the restaurant argues that the Sullivan's Island ban that went into effect in May runs afoul of the Clean Indoor Air Act of 1990, which prohibits smoking in areas such as schools, government buildings and theaters, and a 1996 provision that says local laws cannot supersede state law.
