John, all, CM Debbie Montgomery cited the lack of smoking cessation funding in the ban as a reason for her opposition. So, the St. Paul smoking ban is getting nailed for being both for and against smoking cessation? Erin Stojan Ward 7, Dayton's Bluff

If so, then why, as evidence we need a ban, have people touted a reduction in smokers in NYC since their ban went into effect? Why all the data on how bad smoking is, not for the recipient of 2nd hand smoke but for smokers? Why are groups like MPAAT funding campaigns to get smoking bans passed when they are to be dealing with smoking cessation? John Harris camden __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
