It sets a bad example for our youth?

Is this guy for real?Has he turned on the TV,read a newspaper,or listened to any music these days?

The people that kids admire the most,the celebrities,athletes,and show business crowd,are often guilty of behaviour far worse than smoking cigarettes.Even the kids would think his ideas are weird.

I also hope he is editing all the history books in the schools to eliminate all the nasty smokers that are mentioned in there;for example those smoking slobs,Roosevelt and Churchill.What a bad example men like that set for kids.Children should also be protected from any old newsreels of WWII,Korea,or VietNam----cigarettes,you know are dangerous.

Some of them probably have grandparents that smoke also---what message does he want to give those kids?

I don't like Florida anyway(I hate the heat)so they won't lose any business from me,but the loss of NYC as a place to visit makes me feel terrible.

Thank God for Whoopi Goldberg's "in your face" attitude about smoking on her show.I wonder if kids are allowed to see it in Florida?

Here is more response from Mayor Fred! He's one hard nut! I pity the people that live in his district. I'd love to see him go down the toilet like Davis in California!

Your premise will have no impact on my vote as I believe there will be more who like the thought of "No Smoking" rather than dislike it. In spite of my belief that it will be more popular than unpopular, I do not intend to base my decision on that belief. I/we will attempt to listen to all sides and make what we hope will be the best decision for our community. We are a "quality of life" community and believe our tourism is based upon that aspect, rather than catering to any specific demographic such as smokers or non-smokers.

mears, he is a prissy nose anti-smoker and nothing is going to change his mind, except a majority vote against this smoking ban!

He has heard how his brother, Bloomberg in NYC did it, and how 4 other states did it, and since he hates smokers so much, now HE is going to flex his muscle (?) and do it in HIS district.

He doesn't care about the PEOPLE. All he cares about is his prissy nose and having to "walk through the smokers outside." Poor baby! And the butts on the ground! Well, why doesn't he break loose with some of his budget money and put RECEPTACLES outside! How hard can THAT be! He just wants to bitch about it, that's all I can tell.
