The South Dakota smoking ban will not take effect as scheduled next week because a coalition handed in enough signatures to put the measure to a statewide public vote in next year's november election.

The petition needed nearly 17,000 signatures to put the measure to a public vote and today the Secretary of State's office says they have over 18,000.

Today, supporters of the smoking ban say they have enough signatures and there is mixed reaction to the news.

Vicki Bruse is a non-smoker who is for the smoking ban but has a daughter who loves her job at the bar and makes a good living doing it but the potential health risks of working in a smoke filled is on both of their minds.

"It's one reason where she knows she has to get into something else because of that. But if it goes smoke free she could enjoy doing what she loves," said Vicki Bruse.

Her daughter Erin manages Nutty's South and the ban has certainly been a topic of conversation this year. But with a slow economy, Erin says that now is not the best time to deter any customers. Erin says, "as of right now I think it is a good thing that it did not pass just for our business. We have so much competition going on around us and because of the economy we can't afford to have people not coming in here just because of the smoking ban."

Would mom come in more if the ban would have gone into affect on the first of July? "I think we would go out once in a while but the first thing I think about is a smoke filled bar. I just can't even come in a bar, I just don't want to do it," answered Vicki.

Now supporters of the ban say they will attempt to further verify whether enough valid petition signatures have been filed.
