There are more smokers then nonsmokers in Clinton. I see businesses closing down because of the smoke free environment for example bars, bars make money by letting the people smoke and socialize which in return makes them money , if you take away smoking less people will want to socialize in a bar.


Second hand smoke is not as dangerous as everyone thinks. Research shows that a non-smoker that breathes in second hand smoke will not get cancer unlike a smoker. Let us repeal the smoke ban so businesses don't get shut down and people can actually do something other than sit at home.

Local business owners have been reaching out to share their struggles. The revenue loss is real and it is hurting our community.

In a free society it is up to the business owner to decide if smoking will be allowed on their premises. Those who dislike smoking are free to boycott the establishment. When government dictates even the smallest aspects of our lives, we are living under tyranny. This bas needs to be repealled since it is an attack on individual liberty. Incidentally, I don't smoke.

I don't smoke anymore but people have a choice of whether they want to go into a business that allows smoking. there are other, more important things they should worry about other than where people smoke.

People are allowed to curse and drink alcohol within city limits of Clinton Mo. ANd I dont see anyone passing bans against these things. An all of them in one way or another efect ether our mental health an in some cases then effects our physical health. or with alcohol consumption it can directly effect our physical healrh. So if u r going to play god an start striping us of our god given rights, why stop with a smoking ban. But before u do stop an think , about this one. Who made you god, or the right ro play god with my rights.
