Smoking ban
A smoking ban is defined by Wikipedia as “a public policy, including legal prohibitions and occupational health and safety regulations that restrict smoking in workplaces and public places.” The smoking ban in Auburn took place in November of 2006. It was a ban that was passed very quickly through the system. Not only has it affected smokers themselves, it has affected businesses along with the employees that work there. The ban was brought into effect very early and with little say from smokers or businesses alike. The rights of the smoker have been abolished due to this ban.
The rights of the smoker have been dwindling away for years now. In Auburn, it has gotten even worse. Not only can you not smoke inside anymore, you have to move ten feet away from a public entrance. If you are caught in that ten foot radius, you will receive a fine. The person that was caught in the act will be fined $40 and the bar itself can be fined up to $500. “The amount the bar is fined depends on the bar itself and the amount of people that are inside,” said Matt Spencer. Matt is a manager at a popular bar in Auburn called “Rooster’s Rhythm and Brews.” In bars that cater predominantly to smokers, it seems unjust to not allow them to smoke inside. There have been times when every single person in the bar was outside to smoke a cigarette, including employees. So why is there a ban for places like this? It seems like the city just wanted a change, a cleaner environment in which patrons wouldn’t have to deal with smoke and the smell that comes along with it. Matt Spencer also said, “A bunch of us marched to city hall to fight it but to no avail.” Roosters had no say at all about the ban and were forced into a non-smoking establishment.
