Some minor debate about the necessity of such action was heard from Council members last night. On the same note, Scot Fishman, Council vice president for issues, suggested the marketing of the proposal not only as the submission of a public-health hazard, but as a safety hazard as well. One student expressed opinions against the action. Several Council members expressed similar views. College Rep. Rafiq Jeffries spoke in defense of the existing smoking conditions and pointed out the rights of smokers might be infringed upon by such a policy.
Smoke gets everywhere.
It's more of a infringement on someone's right to stay healthy. Several other members offered other possible alternatives to a total ban. That is to designate smoking areas.
