Finding Socio-Economic Balance
Your Opinion on Smoking in Public Places
It can be difficult for our environmental, social and economic
planners to find a balance between what we may call "social goals" and
"economic goals". Indeed, economic forces have social side effects and vice
versa. The quality of the air that we breathe impacts directly on our health -- and,
hence, on public health care costs. But then, it has been claimed that a ban on smoking in
Scarborough's public places will threaten over 9,000 restaurant jobs in the city -- and
diminished self-esteem and financial resources may lead to crime, personal suffering and
family abuse. All of this is quite apart from the costs associated with enforcement, if
indeed enforcement is reasonably possible.
I am interested in your opinion on the "smoking ban question".:
"Should smoking be banned from all public places in the City of
Scarborough?"
