What Do You Think?

The Anchorage Assembly is considering an ordinance that would ban smoking in all workplaces, including bars and bingo halls. In 2003 the Homer City Council debated and defeated various versions of a smoking ordinance. Should the council revisit the issue?
Yes: 72 percent
No: 28 percent

Selected comment:

Everyone has the right to clean air, but in an establishment like a bar, smoking is expected. There should be somewhere smokers can go if they want to ruin their own lungs, and this should be up to the business owners. Besides, they already voted on this.
