Outdoor Smoking Banned: Smoke Doesn't Have A Home

Do you remember when cigarettes were the norm? It seems like a distant memory now, but there was a time when smoking was allowed in restaurants, bars, and even on airplanes. Today, it's hard to imagine a time when people were allowed to smoke indoors.
The outdoor smoking ban is yet another step in the right direction. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard, and no one should be forced to breathe it in. The ban will help to protect the health of our families, our friends, and our communities.
I know that some people argue that the outdoor smoking ban is an infringement on their freedom. They say that they should be able to smoke wherever they want. But I believe that the right to breathe clean air trumps the right to smoke.
I am proud to live in a city that has taken a stand against outdoor smoking. I hope that other cities will follow our lead and make our communities smoke-free.
Here are some of the benefits of the outdoor smoking ban:

It will help to protect the health of our families, our friends, and our communities.
It will make our city more attractive and welcoming.
It will save lives.

If you are a smoker, I urge you to quit. It is the best thing you can do for your health.
I know that quitting smoking is not easy, but it is possible. There are many resources available to help you quit, including support groups, counseling, and medication.
If you are ready to quit, I encourage you to take the first step today. Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) for more information.
Thank you for helping to make our city smoke-free.
