Letter: Praises smoking ordinance 

Congratulations to Danville commissioners Louis, Hamner and Crowley for finally putting the health and well-being of the children in this community above the needs of those in our community who are addicted to nicotine. It is impossible with such an issue to make everyone happy, but now the youth of our community have a clear message that smoking may not be something which is readily accepted, particularly in public places. . . .
