More smoking bans. Gosh, almost every day you can read about new smoking bans or new cigarette taxes. It is nice that there is some GOOD news in the paper these days.

Another abuse of power and authority by City Council members who have nothing better to do.

As a smoker, I have no problem with the smoking ban. The problem I DO have, however, is the two days they gave businesses before enacting the ban. I feel they should've been give at least three months to implement the ban. Two days is ridiculous!

Perhaps private ie not open to the public placed should have been left out of bans. I hear baccon is the next ban and energy drinks. I am sure these cities ban the sale and taxes on all tobaco products in their cities

I don't blame them and understand about wanting a ban for nonsmokers and people very sensitive to smoke. But i'm tired of getting bronchitis from being outside in the cold for a smoke.

You have bad info--Check the Derby website--The law goes into effect Sept 1. The original ordinance was passed the first of the year-this is an amended version

It's well known that most drunks, degenerates and riffraff type people are anti-smokers, all anti-smokers share that stigma.

Maybe it was Maize that did the 2 days? I know I read it in the paper about one or the other. Doesn't matter, the places I work in Derby have been "smoke free" since last summer. Very few places had smoking areas left in Derby before the ban.
