As I see it the smoking issue is a choice of freedoms. If people want to smoke OK, and if not, OK, but I do not think a city government should say that you can or cannot. That would be their choice. Why should a bar be different than any other business? If we make it non-smoking, make the whole town non-smoking. And if everyone thinks that non-smoking is the way to go, why are there no non-smoking bars around? There must be money to be made the way it sounds. So to me, why not let the issue be? Everyone knows what they are getting into if they work there or if they stop by for a drink. Also, most have a non-smoking area that is available for people. My next question would be are all of the city’s properties like buildings, trucks, cars, parks and all equipment smoke free? If not, maybe we should take care of that first, then let other business owners make their decisions as they see fit. Rod DahlagerLuverne
