Local residents clash over a proposed smoke free policy for public venues arguing private business rights and economic impact. A commenter urges a town wide vote and warns four fifths of town leaders are non smokers while predicting economic decline if the measure passes.
Local business owners oppose a Roblin Town Council bylaw to ban smoking in public places arguing revenue loss. They cite declines in Winnipeg venues and warn reduced income could threaten operations amid higher costs. They urge provincial uniform smoke free rules and note patrons may bypass Roblin for smoking-friendly towns.
A reader argues against banning smoking in restaurants, saying owners invest in their businesses and should decide, while health concerns and calls for broader controls, like alcohol limits, raise questions about freedom and safety in Roblin.
Health Canada data show two thirds of cigarette smoke is not inhaled by smokers and second hand smoke carries over 4 000 chemicals with 50 known carcinogens. Children breathe more air relative to weight and are twice as likely to get lung illness or ear infections in smoking homes.
