Count your Cigarettes
It appears that Jeffersonville is stepping up and taking a bold stance on smoking. The City Council approved the first reading of a smoking ban ordinance on a 4-2 vote. [The Jeffersonville Evening News and The New Albany Tribune]
It is interesting that not a single person spoke against the ordinance. Granted there are two more readings of the ordinance before it proceeds, but it is still surprising that it has received such minimal resistance.
They made mention of Cheddars being smoke-free and there is always a wait to get seated.
Are we really wising up to the facts, or are we just being complacent about people’s rights in certain areas?
If this passes in Jeffersonville, what will our illustrious city council do? Do you think any of them have the “gonads” to take on such a hot issue?

I would like to see certain venues be required to be smoke-free, in particular, the ones that children go to, such as restaurants, malls, etc. I haven't made a decision on how I feel about bars being smoke free.
I think it's unfair for kids to be subjected to cigarette smoke, and in the case of my child, she has some allergies that seem to be irritated by smoke, so we try to protect her from it as much as possible.
