16-Oct-06. Smoke-free fight mustn’t stop here. Calgary Herald, A16.

This editorial by smoke-free activist Robin Hauck discusses the City of Calgary’s amended smoking bylaw which moves the implementation date for a smoking ban to January 1, 2007. The Calgary Pub and Bar association as well as bingo managers are hoping city council will approve amendments to the bylaw so that smoking on patios and smoking rooms will be allowed. Hauck cites various studies that say charitable gaming revenue declines pre-date smoke-free ordinances.
