In recent trip to New York City, I was afforded the opportunity of spending time is a city that decided to pass a smoking ban in public places. My family was able to visit any restaurant, tourist attraction, sports bar, or comedy club with out the worry being subjected to itchy eyes and smelly hair (or lung cancer for that matter). If Iowa truly wants to show the nation that this is a great place to travel to, we need to take a hint from the greatest tourist city in America. Banning smoking in public places may cause some businesses to lose some loyal smoking patrons. Yet for every smoking patron they lose they will gain two or three non-smoking patrons. Contrary to popular belief, banning smoking in public places will help businesses, not hurt them.
