The city of Franklin passed a smoking ban that does not allow any exemptions for private clubs, bars, or anyother type of buisness.  Essentially this wipes out the comsumption of all smoked tobacco in public venues.  The city says that it is beneficial for the health of the public at large but critics say it is just another way to tie down smokers and it discriminates.

I feel that it should be up to the owner of a resturant or establishment to decide if they allow smokeing or do not allow smoking.  This ban does discriminate aganst those who choose to indulge in a cigar after dinner, the after lunch cigerette, or the beer and cigerettes that outline the hard working line of blue coller employees nationwide.  Therefore i do not belive the city has the right to make a decision that people should make for themselves.
