Downtown protesters rally against smoking

From 11 News Staff Reports

Protesters held a rally against smoking on the steps of Houston City Hall Tuesday.

It happened right before the city council held a hearing on Mayor Bill White's proposed amendment to the smoking ordinance.

The amendment would ban smoking in restaurants, but not in bars.

The group behind the protest was Houston Communities for Safe Indoor Air. Members wanted to draw attention to the dangers of secondhand smoke.
