Here we go again. Some of my favorite parts:

"Smoking 25 feet from my building would put people in the street,"

The ban as proposed includes parks and golf courses, so someone smoking on the 18th green could be sent to jail, Skyring said.

Puffing within 25 feet of the door of a publicly used building, a park or in other public spaces could cost you $500 or a year in prison. [...] The ban as proposed includes parks and golf courses, so someone smoking on the 18th green could be sent to jail [...] No smokers stepped forward to talk against the proposal.

In the Land of the Free and in the Home of the Brave?

Another rich line:

But Bill Noonan of the Clean Indoor Air Coalition said passing the ban "is the single most important thing you (the council) can do" for better health in the community.

So having smokers stand in the middle of traffic is good for just whose health????????

What a MAROOOOOON

And therein lies the problem.

Act like sheep ...

Wonder how many of the council members are D's and how many are R's.
