Council split over smoking variance and door rules
Councilman Ronnie Anderson opposed the variance arguing for a strict reading of the ordinance while Mayor Mundinger urged consistency citing Luna's as the only other restaurant with doors in the smoking area and no complaints about secondhand smoke. Health director Mike Lester noted a shift to a literal interpretation after September 2004 and explained the new appeal process.

The CDC says 20.9 percent of U S adults smoked in 2004, down from 21.6 percent in 2003 and 22.5 percent in 2002, with declines tied to higher tobacco taxes and bans. Regional and demographic patterns show higher rates among American Indians, men, the poor, and those with lower education. Kentucky, West Virginia, and Oklahoma top the list, Utah and California the bottom.
