CBRM studying outdoor smoking ban

Cape Breton Regional councillors have asked staff to put more work into considering whether the municipality should ban smoking at outdoor spaces. This would prohibit smoking outdoors at any public space such as park, ball field, trail, sidewalk and the entrance to any public building. Because of the size of the municipality it would be difficult to enforce a bylaw, there's no sense in enacting a bylaw they can't enforce. I think the municipality should continue to be proactive in efforts to discourage smoking still. But I believe smokers are going to keep smoking outdoors no matter what, I personally think the CBRM has much better things to do than study outdoor smoking ban. They should focus more on all the drug addicts in our town, and try helping them also put more effort in to cleaning our town up, I also think smokers should still be able to smoke outdoors just have respect for other people.
