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.
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.
