Do you think it’s fair to force bartenders, waiters and waitressesto work in a smoke filled environment? Would you like to go out and not have to worry aboutsmelling like smoke when you get home? Would you like to stop others from polluting you and yourloved ones’ lungs? This issue has come up in other cities and has met with great resistance because they think they may lose money from smoking customers. This is not true. Can you imagine going out to the bar and not coming home covered in smoke? Our city councillors need to know that there are large numbers of people who would rather have a nice dinner or a drink without having to breathe in second hand smoke or expose their loved ones to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. What Can You Do?1. Contact your city councillor and let them know how you feel about this issue.
2. Robert Goodfellow (at the health unit) is collecting a list of advocates who would support the bylaw.
3. Forward this to friends that also might be able to help. We all may be needed.
