Cities try for united ban on smoking (So as to not lose money to competition)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.
And if the smoker can't go to neighboring Cities, they will just stay home and have friends over.
