Physician-mayor fights for nation's toughest smoking ban

Article Abstract:

Friendship Heights (MD) Mayor Alfred Muller's radical anti-smoking ordinance has been adopted by the village council and awaits approval or rejection from the Montgomery County Council. The measure would put in place the most restrictive community anti-smoking rules in the US by prohibiting people from disposing of tobacco products in public areas such as parks, buildings, or sodden areas, as well as banning smoking in those places. Muller, who is also a physician, says the measure will fight both illness and pollution in the town.
