Intro: On Nov. 9, Florence City Council will vote on a proposed smoking ban in most public places.
The ordinance would prohibit smoking in places like restaurants, bars, educational and health care facilities, common areas of apartment buildings as well as many other places.
Though it may face opposition from some smokers, the ordinance is gaining popularity from many local residents.
"I don't like to determine what other people do, but we have been out west to California and Phoenix in the past year and it's banned everywhere out there and there's a difference, and it is nice not to have to worry about that in public if you don't have to," Florence resident Jennifer Peebles said.
Even some restaurant managers say they support the proposal, though they say they will continue to try and accommodate everyone.
