The day has come where non-smokers are fed up with inhaling second hand smoke. When non-smokers are in Restaurants, Bars, and Clubs, second hand smoke is forced upon us. The only way to stop this is to ban smoking in all of the previously mentioned types of businesses. Sure smokers have the right to smoke. That right to smoke should be exercised in their personal space and not when they are in a public place.
I do not drink and when I go to a Restaurant, Bar, or Club I have the right to decline a drink if one is offered to me. I do not have the right to decline the second hand smoke that my lungs take in. I am also tired of wearing nice clothes out on the town only to return home smelling like smoke. Please sign this petition to have smoking banned in all Restaurants, Bars, and Clubs in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point NC.
Thank You

The current momentum confirms this issue is a priority for residents across the region. I have requested meetings with local health department representatives to discuss the legislative path toward a smoking ban in these establishments.

My kids and I like to go bowling, parks, and schlitterbahn. The bowling alley has a bar in it with a air ventilator but when they open the door all the smoke flows out. The schools have bowling lessons there and the air ventilator doesn't work anyways. We have no choice in the matter of breathing second hand smoke,when my kids and I go to the park we end up walking thru someone's second hand smoke. I shouldn't have to walk around someone smoking or have to move my picnic in parks because of the disturbance of smoking. They should respect others and find a better place that is not a disturbance to others.

If people want to kill their own lungs that is their business but keep it away from me and my family.
