Thousands of people gathered in Madison to hear seven time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong speak about Wisconsin’s smoking ban at a rally Tuesday.

An assembly committee voted 6-3 to send a proposed smoking ban to the full assembly. A committee chairman says there's no guarantee the full assembly will take up the bill to ban smoking in all bars, restaurants and work places starting in 2009.

At the rally Armstrong said there is a moral obligation to prevent nonsmokers from being forced to breathe in second hand smoke while at work.
