Smoking Ban


Peoria Advisory Proposition To Ban Smoking In All Indoor Work Places And All Indoor Public Places, Vote For 1:
Yes: 66.84%
No: 33.16%

Hurray!

Its been almost 10 months since I quit smoking - July 6th will be my one year. It was hard at first, but after a few weeks I didn't even think twice about it. And now I just can't tolerate it at all. I'm grossed out when I have to walk into a building and people are smoking outside, and lets not even talk about bars! I realize that lots of people smoke and some businesses might be impacted 'negatively' by the smoking ban, but non-the-less, I couldn't be happier! The only concern I have over this is that when we go places now, instead of having the inside smokey, we'll have to walk through a cloud just to get into the building. I still consider this progress.

I had no idea you smoked. That is great you stopped. Just think of the black lungs at the Body Worlds exhibit.

Trust me - this is GREAT! They passed one in our town and it is so nice to be able to take Justin to BW3's and places like that and know he's not smoking a pack or two before we get dinner!
