If other parts of the country can ban smoking, so can St. Louis

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I recently returned from a lovely trip around New England. The area is absolutely gorgeous, as I expected. What I didn’t expect is that all six states I visited restricted smoking nearly everywhere I went. Restaurants, bars, an outdoor shopping plaza, an aquarium, a zoo. The trip was virtually smoke-free.

I believe if a whole section of the United States can get band together to make their region more livable, so can Saint Louis and Saint Louis County. And why stop there, let’s aim for all of Missouri too.
