Stop catering to smoking customers

I am lifelong resident of Champaign County, except for attending Eastern Illinois University for my bachelors in health studies and Saint Louis University for my masters in public health. I encourage the Champaign City Council to keep the smoking ban.

I keep telling my co-workers and fellow supporters how lucky I am to be able to patronize businesses that I haven't been able to in the past. Please do not take a gigantic step back in terms of public health and public policy. The council has taken great initiative on this matter; please do not repeal the ban.
