Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels says he hopes legislators will send him a statewide smoking ban bill with a short list of exemptions.

Daniels told reporters at the Statehouse on Wednesday that he would sign into law whatever smoking ban bill is able to clear the Legislature.

A proposal that has cleared the House and is awaiting Senate action gives an 18-month exemption to bars. The bill would ban smoking in nearly all public places and businesses but still allow it at casinos, private clubs and retail tobacco stores.

Daniels says he expects a lot of give and take among legislators on places to exempt from the ban, but wants as few as possible.
