A2: Smoking Bans

An article in the Battle Creek Enquirer about smoking bans includes two Ann Arbor sources – the Ann Arbor-based Smoke-Free Environments Law Project, and Jim Burgman of the Center for Social Gerontology. Burgman said raw sewage is regulated for public health: ”It’s the same thing with secondhand smoke. We know we have a toxic substance there and simply saying people should voluntarily deal with this simply doesn’t work. I think most folks these days feel there isn’t an adequate way of dealing with it other than through law.” [Source]
