Cities Increasingly Ignore Smoking Bans
Smoking bans looked more contagious than swine flu there for a while, with restrictions on where people could light up spreading from restaurants to bars to public parks. But now, some recession-racked cities are pushing back, declining to impose planned smoking bans or just outright ignoring the guidance of state legislatures. Local leaders say they don't want to pile new burdens on businesses that are already suffering. "If times are trying now in the hospitality industry, you're compounding that by telling bar owners they can't cater to their own crowd," one anti-anti-smoking activist said. As a result, some municipalities have postponed enforcement of bans and others have scrapped them altogether, citing high costs both to businesses that lose out on the I-only-smoke-when-I-drink crowd and to the city itself, which would have to use the resources of ever-tightening budgets to enforce the bans.
