Currently, a Town Meeting-approved ordinance limits smoking in bars and restaurants in Framingham to restricted areas. The Board of Health ban prohibits smoking in bars and restaurants entirely.

Last year, voters rejected the Board of Health's proposal to rescind the Town Meeting ordinance.
Looks like the town referendum has taken temporary precedence over the arbritary ruling of the health board here in the town I currently live in. I like the fact my favorite pub/poolhall here in Framingham has smoking and non-smoking areas. Freedom of choice is a Beautiful thing!

Perhaps letting each individual establishment decide is the fairest way to resolve the situation. It is a comprimise between a total ban and a total lack of regulation.

Can't we all just get along? [img]graemlins/hippysmile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
