Voting on 'smoking'.... (my thoughts)


Should Springfield citizens vote "no" in repealing the current ban (Smokefree Act of 2011 and its May 7, 2012 amended version)? 

Yes = Kills current ban, reverts back to previous smoking regulations

No = Keeps current ban.




Here is my thoughts....:

Actually, by voting 'no', you're allowing the government another step into regulations of certain freedoms. 

By voting 'yes', you give businesses the choice to ban smoking. And then it's up to us to choose whether or not to patronize that business. No government involvement. If a place of business values my dollar, they won't allow smoking. 

By saying 'no', think of it as it taking away a section of 'property rights'... then what next? Food? Drinks? Guns?
