BELMONT, CA - A proposed ordinance to ban smoking from all homes, except those that are single-family & detached, is expected to be introduced in January by Belmont City Council. With complete support of Mayor Philip Mathewson, the proposal has received favor from the vast majority of residents. If this ordinance is enacted, Serena Chen, policy director of the American Lung Association of California, stated she believes it would be the strictest proposal in the world. Could this open the door for more cities to follow? If so, what rights are we left with when we can't choose what we do in our own homes? These are scary times, and it will definitely be something to pay close attention to in the coming months.

Where will people smoke then? Outside? Isn't that worse for non-smokers? I would rather have them smoke in their house and give their kids and family members cancer from second hand smoking than have them smoke in public and stink up every where.
