Ban Smoking in restaurants

I hate the smell and sight of smoking when I am paying to eat
a meal and Ketchikan is one of the few places that still gets
away with that. Since 2001 the city of Anchorage has banned
smoking in public places and restaurants and now, on July 7th
smoking is banned in any enclosed space, including bars and bingo
halls. I can't wait to be able to go out with friends and not
smell like smoke the next day. Ketchikan would greatly benefit
from smokefree restaurants and bars. There is a way to fix the
problem, talk with the city council and see what changes can
be made.
