Instead pass social-engineering-type regulations (for example federal tax the daylights out of ciggs so every State has the same exhorbetantly high price)<BR/><BR/>That's not to say I like smokers; I think they lack character and self-control.

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on a citywide indoor smoking ban. I really wasn't in favor of this when I first heard it happening, but I think I'm changing my tune a little. I have visited places like LA and Minneapolis and noticed a major difference in how I felt after going out at night to bars and entertainment venues. In addition, I'm seeing studies that towns where smoking has been banned for some time has seen up to 30% reductions in presentation to emergency rooms for heart attacks. Cook County Illinois recently passed a ban to take effect in about a year from now and more and more areas are continuing to follow suit. I think Davenport and Bettendorf should consider this as well.
