“The city of Spokane just tried to ban smoking on its four public golf courses, only to be stymied by an outcry from players and smoking rights advocates.”
‘Washington state is among the least hospitable places for smokers, with no smoking allowed in any public indoor space, or outside within 25 feet of a door or window. But the proposed smoking ban on public links has struck a nerve, in part because of the vastness of golf courses.”
"’If I was just walking and somebody was 300 feet away, I'm bothering them?’ avid smoker and golfer Greg Presley told the Spokane parks board during a public hearing. ‘We've got to have some common sense.’"
Oops! There’s that pesky “c-phrase” again. No one is his right mind could ever accuse the government of having common sense.
