Comment: My answer's half and half. I think yes for restaurants-- even with attached bars. But no for bars and pool halls and places like that. People should know those are places for smokers. by Ken

Comment: I think SA should concentrate more on cell phone usage & driving & the homeless which I feel are more important. by Pam

Comment: Bars and nightclubs need to be left alone when it comes to the smoking ordinance. No smoking in restaraunts and city buildings is fine. We need to get a grip on what rules are really needed and what rules are just a way of discrimination. Smoking can kill just like drinking or eating processed foods. We don't have to follow other states just because everyone is now coming here to S.A. by Armendariz

Comment: If I want to live in a nanny state I'll move to California. This is exactly why I would never vote for a full time city council. Between this and pasties it it is obvious they spend too much time downtown as it is. by Robert

In fact Lets make BEER illegal why were at it because that kills way more people. and Sugar for diabetes because thats killing a lot of people. Realistcally worry about you! There is using and abusing and that is for the people to decide by Carissa
