Smoking Ban Vote - City of Galveston City Council Meeting - 7/23/09 Part 2

Unbelievable that the private clubs were also exempt. I thought it was ironic that the large women wearing blue t-shirt was clapping about smoking being a "public health" issue when she obviously enjoyed too much fast food in her life. What I say to them - watch out, soft drinks are next for an excise tax as well as fast food. I'll be in the back row clapping as their happy meal is considered a "public health" issue.

This is terrible. Why ban smoking in a tobacco shop? This should be the choice of the private business owner.

These people just put a private business out of business. Cigar shops and cigar bars should be exempted from this onerous law.

Wow, there was no debate on this matter at all! Why do people continue to ban smoking in cigar shops. The people applauding probably never even been in a cigar shop.
