Forgive me for giggling because the issue about smoking ban does amuse me.. just a
little.
I'll tell you why. Before articles was written about soming ban, this was a huge issue
for years and years inside Deaf club. Every years for a past a decade or so, I'd sit
there watching members of Deaf club propose to ban smoking inside Deaf club. And each
year it failed to pass. Debate over smoking ban have gotten so heated that President
of Deaf club put a stop to it so we can go on to vote on other matter. Some were very
concern this would dastrically cause revenue at the bar to drop.
Two years ago, of course as usual.. the proposal for smoking ban was brought up. And
this time they passed this porposal. And this time, it stick. A year ago, a few
members asked to repeal this ban. Chairperson said the decision was made and that is
it. There was no more debate.
What is interesting is the result from smoking ban... there was no change in sle
revenue inside a bar. None. Some members never returned. But some longtime members
were finally were able to return and enjoy the fresh air.
Anytiime there major issue come up at City Council, the last result.. instead of
turning to stack of paper that try ti disprove each other, all I have to do is to take
a birdeye view... just look at Deaf club.
Funny heh ?
