Topeka ? Kansas officials are launching a new website to help with the implementation of a new statewide smoking ban.

Lt. Gov. Troy Findley and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment will announce the new site on Monday.

The ban was signed in March by Gov. Mark Parkinson and takes effect July 1.

It prohibits smoking in most enclosed public places, businesses, taxis, limousines, restaurants, bars and within 10 feet from entrances and air intakes at such facilities.

Members of the Tobacco Free Kansas Coalition are attending a press conference with Findley and KDHE Secretary Rod Bremby.
