York County Smoking Ban Upcoming Vote

admin — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:32:49 +0000

York County Council needs to hear your voice! The Council will be voting on an important issue that effects us all on Monday, December 15. The issue at hand is a Countywide ban on smoking in public places. Studies of other areas that have accepted these measures have showed an increase in sales for bars and restaurants, which directly translates to increased sales tax collections that help fund our county and reduce the dollars that each resident has to pay towards taxes. This also helps employees in these public places have the right to clean air while working and reduces the health care costs that are again funded by residents’ state tax dollars.

Four of the seven representatives on the Council were undecided. Please call or email your Council member today and let them know how you feel and let your voice be heard. Tom Smith from the Lake Wylie District (district 2) was one of the undecided council members.

Article From the Lake Wylie Pilot, December 2, 2008:

Countywide smoking ban vote Dec. 15

The prospects for a York Countywide ban on smoking in public places are still uncertain more than a year after elected officials started talking seriously about the idea. Four County Council members said they are undecided or opposed, suggesting the measure could pass the seven-member council by a razor-thin margin in the initial Dec. 15 vote — if it passes at all. “I feel like we’ll be able to get that passed,” said Council Chairman Buddy Motz, an early supporter. “But it’s going to be close.” Supporters view the ban as an urgent public health issue, arguing secondhand smoke kills thousands every year. They also say people have a right to breathe clean air, whether at work or enjoying dinner. Opponents say the hazard is when the government tries to dictate a decision they say is better left to individuals. Bans typically apply to indoor public gathering spots, such as restaurants and bars. Councilman Tom Smith of Lake Wylie said he wants to hear from more constituents before deciding. He can be reached at 803-631-4116.
