May 11: Modify Smoking Ban
RESPONSE: Once again, I ask the Tyler City Council to modify the smoking ban. Please let any establishment, if they so desire, allow smoking outside in the open and no smoking at the front entrance.
If I were "silver tongued" and fluent of speech, like Barack Obama, I would plead my case before the council. Being not so, I will try the printed page.
Due to the anti-smoking hysteria in the last 40 years, smoking numbers have declined. Smokers have no large lobby protecting their rights, no large number of oxen are being gored. Once again, I request the ban be modified so people can smoke outside in the open air. This ban unless modified will surely gore my ox.
