banning smoking outdoors is just going overboard... I'm a non-smoker and dont love the smell of smoke, but outside, that's just getting carried away...
When the no smoking ban went into effect in Giants Stadium it was stupid - it's an open air stadium and it's generally pretty breezey - I can see it for not having to clean up the mess of cigarette butts but not for second hand smoke.
A decent ventilation system would solve the problem in restaurants... Anyone old enough to remember when they allowed smoking on planes, can attest to the fact that the air on a plane was a lot cleaner then.... even with smokers on board, than it is now...
Oh wait - this is for the children.. .:eyeroll: let's save the children
