Winnipeg delays decision on smoking bylaw

Article Abstract:

Winnipeg, Manitoba, city councilors voted to defer any decision on a proposed amendment to the Winnipeg anti-smoking bylaw by 90 days on Jul 12, 2000. The action was taken in response to strong opposition from city restaurateurs, hoteliers and night club owners. The council also voted to commission another study on the impact of smoking in public places frequented by children. They also requested more information on the benefits of air-filtration and ventilation systems, which is a solution that the hospitality industry has espoused.
