The Mayor of Medford(I think) was working on a smoking ban within 25 feet of playground equipment as well. Soon it will be the way things were in basic training... 12x12 areas designated for smoking. Don't dare find yourself smoking elsewhere. Here in Dog Bay, the cafeteria employees at one elementary school all grab milk crates ansd trundle out to the curb to smoke. If they had a break room where they could smoke the kids would never see them. As it is, they're on display. Maybe that's the idea...isolate them as second-class citizens and let them serve as bad examples.

I think it's a lot more sinister than that, my opinion is, they need for the kids to see, after all they are going to need more smokers in the future, or the government would have to go cold turkey on the taxes.
