Intro:

Today is the first business day since the smoking ban started. There are people who were strongly for the ban, against it, and those who are neutral.

Most supporters say it is a health issue, but others say their rights are being violated.

Harold Burchell smoked for 18 years. He gave up the habit, and is glad Prestonsburg restaurants are now smoke-free.

Jerry Stone is not a smoker, but says the ban doesn't really concern him one way or the other.
