A measure to make St. Louis County the first in Missouri with a smoking ban for casinos doesn’t have the support it needs from the County Council to pass, but a new bill still adds additional limits to smoking in public, according to the county health department.

Casinos have been excluded from St. Louis County’s indoor smoking ban since it went into effect in 2011, but health officials proposed removing the exception earlier this year. The bill stalled in May as the seven-member council considered the proposal behind closed doors. But the casino provision never gained political traction among a majority, said Christopher Ave, a spokesman for the St. Louis County Department of Public Health.
