Smoking ban fever is spreading
Kemah is considering a smoking ban similar to the one Houston recently passed:
Mayor William King will present the ordinance to ban smoking in certain public places to the City Council Thursday.
The proposed ban is very similar to the ordinance recently adopted by the city of Houston.
"I personally would like to see a stronger restriction, but I think the other cities in the area follow Houston's lead on this issue. It is important that the restaurant owners do not have different rules in different jurisdictions and that no one can claim a competitive advantage from differing restrictions," King said in a news release.
That strikes me as a strange bit of reasoning.
