The Canadian Champion, Frîday, May 16, 2003-13 DSRs are perfect solution in smoking controversy 1 lt's funny how the letter tic the-editor prncess ss'orks. But, i dont know why anybodys yakking about the revision 10 the smoking bylaw that allows DSRs. I' the perfect solution. If you smoke, you can smoke; if you dont. you dont. And nobody bothers each other. 1 dont understand the letters. There bas been smoking in bars since there have been bars. Ail of a sudden you're up in arms over il? For lack of anything better, your main concemn is now the peuple who work in these places who don't smoke? If they don't smoke. they cao work in the non-smoking section. You're not going 10 be buthered by smoking anymore if yuu go to bars and don't smoke. Gcîî that? Your fight is finished. We aIl know smoking is bad. so quit with the silly lectures. Eventually it will be wiped out altugether in any public place. I think town council did a great lob in revising thîs bylaw. Their job isn't 10 legisiate our morality. What they've donc is keep in mind the health risks, wbile alsu keeptng in mind that Milton bhîsinesses need not be put at a disad- vantage 10 surrouniding communities. They're nul tryîng 10 sase Eightv percent of people who go 10 bars smoke. 'Vas there a public OUltcry from those 80) per cent?! Or the other 20) per cent'! Hardly.
