I am a smoker but I would eat in a non-smoking restaurant. I'd like to be able to have a cigarette on the street, but that's not all that important to me, either. I worked at the District Court for many years. Among my duties was the responsibility for juries. Jurors are not in the courthouse of their own free will. Some jurors are smokers and some deliberations last for hours. If the smoking jurors were not permitted to go outside and have a few puffs, I don't believe their minds would be on the serious job of making a decision in the case and, believe me, that job is serious. I am against a smoking ban such as the one being considered by the City Commission. I think it should be left up to the individual businesses.
