The Liberty smoking ban measure will be on the November ballot in Liberty, Missouri.

The measure calls for a stricter city smoking ban than the March 2009 approved ban. The current smoking ban allows smoking in bars, smaller restaurants, bowling alleys and billiard parlors licensed by the city to sell liquor by the drink with certain restrictions.[1] The ordinance states that bars and restaurants would have until April 9, 2010 to comply with the restrictions. However, the proposed measure would take into effect 60 days after approval and would prohibit smoking in enclosed public places and continue to be allowed in outdoor patios.[2]

As of May 2009, supporters had collected more than 1,000 signatures.[3]
