The House has (finally) taken up debate of Rep. Hugh Holliman's anti-smoking bill. Debate has just gotten under way.

Update (4:35 p.m.): Debate on the anti-smoking resolution had fired up, and then the resolution honoring former Sen. Robert Holloman came across the hall, the House took a break from the smoking debate.
Click here for early audio from the debate, mainly Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam, a Wake County Republican, arguing against the bill.
My guess is the smoking debate will pick back up again in the 5 o'clock hour.

Smoking debate picks back up at 4:49 p.m.

It's a shame the the members of the NC House voted down this bill.
The bill would've provided for safer working environments for employees and safer dining environments for customers.
The House members which voted down this measure have proven that in tobacco is king in NC.
