Cajun 0 #1 December 21, 2004 Last night in a 6-0 vote the centerville city counsel has ban smoking in public places (indoor only I think). Law goes into effect April 4th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #2 December 21, 2004 I lived in Davis, California for 10 years. Davis was the 2nd city in California to ban smoking, and still (to my knowledge) the strictest. Smoking is banned in all public places--indoor or outdoor. You can even be ticketet for smoking in a private place where the smoke can carry. People have been issued citations for smoking on their own front porches.

Dumpster 0 #3 December 21, 2004 I wish I could ban smoking in my house - My wife and daughter both smoke and could care less I quit - They will sit down next to me and burn a cord. Then wonder why I get up and leave. DUH!! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #4 December 21, 2004 Columbus passed it months ago and most the outer communities are talking about it. Centerville always was a tad behind Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 December 21, 2004 QuotePeople have been issued citations for smoking on their own front porches. Wow. Tom, you're right. You take a couple steps then go sliding down the slope. This should serve as a good example for those wanting to highly regulate other aspects of life. I'm thinking of a specific right, but feel free to add your own.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #6 December 21, 2004 Good. My grandpa might have lung cancer due to second hand smoke. I'm all for people's rights when it doesn't infringe on anyone else. Smoking in public does infringe on others rights to health.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #9 December 22, 2004 QuoteGood. My grandpa might have lung cancer due to second hand smoke. I'm all for people's rights when it doesn't infringe on anyone else. Smoking in public does infringe on others rights to health. Air pollution (esp from wood fireplaces right now) is a much greater source of trouble than cigarette smoke outdoors. At some point we have to play nice and give smokers SOMEPLACE that they smoke. (provided that they pick up their damn butts) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loumeinhart 0 #14 December 8, 2006 That's the beauty of threads. I smoke socially but voted against this based on principal. Irony is I'm glad it passed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
