22-Feb-06. Smoking banned by city. Lethbridge Herald, A1.

Lethbridge city council unanimously passed a no-smoking bylaw that prohibits smoking in public vehicles and all buildings except residences as of January 1, 2007. Keith Preddy, president of the Southern Alberta Bingo Association predicts the city’s two bingo associations could lose millions of dollars every year because many people will no longer play the game. Cheri Langhofer, a spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer Society in Lethbridge, said that these types of concerns from business are understandable but will likely not materialize.
