Smoking ban bill hits snag

..."This is not an economic issue.

This is not a referendum on our great state motto, ‘Live Free or Die.’ This is simply a health issue, and a matter of doing what is right for our great state," Sen.

David Gottesman, one of the bill’s sponsors said in a statement.

Opponents argue it should be left up to restaurant and bar owners to decide whether to make their businesses smoke-free, noting that a majority already have taken that step.

The House passed the ban last week 189-156.

The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill on April 6.

If it passes, the smoking ban would become law after 90 days.

It's a place with "no cars, no buses, no trains, no pubs, no drunks, no smokers".

There is instead water, children, trees.

This is where Stuart Heywood travels — far from the lung tumours that may destroy him — when Peter Roberts plays his harp.

A long-legged tower of a man, Mr Heywood knocked about the alleyways of Depression-era Collingwood and once, as a homeless and damaged war veteran, slept with his young family in the Flagstaff Gardens.

He is not inclined to hippie, new-age ideas.

But the 82-year-old — who went on to be a successful businessman and motivational speaker for football clubs — is convinced the harp is helping him defy his doctors: death was due months ago.

The sincerity and love with which Mr R...
