CBRM studying outdoor smoking ban

Well the Cape Breton Regional Municipality should try to do something about it it is the non smoker don't have to breathe it in when they don't like smoking themselves. But it look like to me CBRM might not do that for non smokers plus the committee of the whole has for an issue paper weather the CBRM prohibit smoking outdoors.

In the report to the committee, presented this week, Rick Fraser, manger of the inspections and bylaw said  they consulted CBRM stuff responsible for outdoor facilities and some parents. They don't want smoking by your children's or anyone else kids at that matter and at public parks, sidewalks, trails, ball field, and entrance to any public buildings.

The non smoker should not have to inhale the second hand smoke cause it is worse then you smoking a cigarette yourself. The smoker should be aware if they want to inhale smoke they would of start smoking and they should stay away like 30 or 40 feet away from a public building.


Dist 10. Coun. Darren Brucksihwaiger noted that if the bylaw was putting in place many people would follow it .

I'm sure weve got a lot of  law-abiding citizen and if we put the law in place. I think a lot of people would support it , he said.

The committee agreed to send the matter back to the staff for further work.
