So for my thought paper I decided to pick a more local controversy which has most recently been in the news. I have decided to do the debate over the smoking ban in bars and restaurants in Minneapolis/St.Paul. I am really having a hard time choosing which side of the controvesy I am on. Those who are For the ban strongly believe in a better public health, especially over the concerns of secondhand smoke. Those who are against the ban fear that a loss of business and entertianment will decrease the economy of the city and will lead to a great loss of jobs. I was just wondering if anyone had a strong opinion whether or not to pass this ban. Right now the vote stands at 4:3 a fifth vote would pass the ban. Does anyone out there have an opinion I would sure like to hear about it. Right now I am really unsure of which way to go.
