Mayors and officials of nine Valley cities and towns on Thursday agreed that a regional or statewide smoking ban is needed to prevent some cities from losing money to competitors.
Council members for Peoria and Glendale, which are exploring a possible ban, called the meeting because businesses in cities that have adopted tough bans, such as Tempe, complain that patrons take their business to bordering cities.

No kidding, our establishments are still waiting for the non-smoking crowd a year and 3 months later.
That will not help you here anymore. This is a Republican site, not a consevative site.

She's trying to pick a fight with me. What's her beef? I don't even know her! heh! 
You would think someone would see this as what it is. Just a strong armed tactic to control everyone and everything.
I don't know where this is all going to go, but this BS is way out of hand. If they want to ban smokers everywhere, why don't they just ban tobacco, period? Oh no! That would take away their big Honey Pot of Money, wouldn't it!
Nope. I'm pointing out what this site has morphed into.
It is rapidly filling up with RBAs. (Republican before Americans)
They are encouraged by management. You fight with them here everyday.
Are you a conservative first or a Republican first? Keep in mind that in my state, Jim Ryan, Republican elected offical and candidate for governor (to replace one of the worst of terrible bunch of governors ever to serve, Republican George Ryan) in yesterdays (so-called) debate, advocated banning smoking in public statewide.
If you said on this forum that you would vote for his Democratic opponent, (in my opinion which is based on recent events,) you would get the boot here.
Now I will abandon this conversation lest I get the boot.
These morons can't grasp the concept that there will always be a city just outside the coalition that isn't run by neurotics and psychopaths.
If Jim Ryan said that (got a cite?) that sounds like yet another reason to vote for Cal Skinner. If all the groups Jim Ryan attacks refuse to vote for him, he ought to come in THIRD.
