Smoking story missed point

A recent article in the Aberdeen American News on smoking and second-hand smoke in certain public places missed the point; here's why.

Hundreds of places have banned smoking from "all public places" because of its indisputable health hazards. . .

One could easily get the impression that South Dakota is so backwoods that we don't know that smoke in public places is a health issue and not about anyone's rights. . .

Ask your legislators to vote yes for removal of state "pre-emption" over local control. Local government has a right to vote on this.
