In reviewing the Sta_.,/County haws on Smoking in Public Places Article 4 <br /> <br /> Section 14-20 (1) is being violated as the exhaled smoke and sidestream <br /> smoke is in the building. I'm sure it was the intent of the law to keep <br /> smoke out of enclosed areas. (2) Open to the public - many times the <br /> <br /> main entrances to the gym_,is crovrded with smokers, and the children <br /> have to walk through them. (3) Building-is defined as any area enclosed <br /> <br /> by a roof and three walls. According to. the building dept, definition, <br /> as long as the roof is over their head. they are in the building. <br /> <br /> Section 14-21 addresses the fact that if smoking areas are permitted <br /> it should be separated by walls so that smoke does not permeate into <br /> the nonsmoking areas. <br /> Our request as parents, teachers, coaches, and. caregivers is that more <br /> be done to protect the children from this constant health hazard at <br /> sporting events. It would. be a great service to the children as well <br /> as adults who are nonsmokers if smoking would be prohibited around the <br /> perimeter of the gyms. This would of course include the steps in front <br /> of the doors. <br /> Please help us to provide a safe and healthy environment for our children <br /> to play. It is their right. <br /> Thank you for anything you can do to help the children. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Laura S. Higa <br /> Team Mom/Nurse <br /> <br />
