Are you in favor of a statewide smoking ban?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 31, 2007
“No. I'm not in favor of that. I feel like if you're going to a bar, you should expect there to be smoke. It should be up to the business owner.”

“No. I think the individual towns have a right to choose for themselves.”
— John Tucker, loan bank manager, Lawrence
“Yeah. I would be in favor of that. Smoke bothers my allergies, and I prefer not to be around it.”

“No. I think businesses should have the choice to adequately separate the smokers from nonsmokers.”
