			<description><![CDATA[Sounds as if Alameda has already provided a logical time period for businesses and residents to transition to this fabulous incentive to visit and conduct commerce in these outdoor commercial areas free from tobacco smoke. All who are reading this should send a quick note to Mayor Gilmore asking that she takes step to resolve the smoking conditions that exist in commercial and other outdoor areas that were courageously made smokefree at the beginning of 2012. Well, I see we have the same commenter who uses this section repeatedly to try and push his smoking nonsense propaganda attempting to create doubt and confusion about lethal effects of a known carcinogen rather than advertise as the other vendors do on this page.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[New comment: The article notes: "umbrage at the continuing presence of smokers on Park Street. His wife and business partner has chronic asthma and serious allergies, making secondhand smoke a significant concern." If they are TRULY concerned about involuntary smoke exposure on the street they should join a Free Choice organization to overturn the ban and move most of the smokers back inside those bars and restaurants that would choose to allow smoking. Of course if they're simply Antismokers then such a solution wouldn't interest them. Let's see if they get active in working to amend the ban. Michael J. McFadden, Author of "Dissecting Antismokers' Brains"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The article notes: "Jon Spangler takes particular umbrage at the continuing presence of smokers on Park Street. His wife and business partner, Linda Hudson, has chronic asthma and serious allergies, making secondhand smoke a significant concern." If the Spangler/Hudsons are TRULY concerned about involuntary smoke exposure on the street they should join a Free Choice organization to overturn the ban and move most of the smokers back inside those bars and restaurants that would choose to allow smoking. Of course if they're simply Antismokers then such a solution wouldn't interest them. Let's see if they get active in working to amend the ban. Michael J.

			<description><![CDATA[As a former smoker, I can very much understand the addiction. But I quit, almost 2 years ago, and that was after many tries. I had to change my life, who I spent time with, where I spent time, and what I did. It can be done! Most people just don't really want to stop, so they fail. Yes, I have compassion for that quandary. But I cannot tolerate smoke anymore. When I did smoke, I went away from others who didn't like. I want that for me, from the other side of things. I worked very hard to escape that hell, and I don't want to have it unwillingly cast upon me now. If you really respect yourself, you will quit. If you don't respect yourself, it's very unlikely you'll respect me, either. Amen.]]></description>
