Most Hutchinson residents want the city to toughen its stance on workplace smoking. I hope the City Council gives them what they want.

But I also hope the council doesn’t rush its decision. The key players need to be heard or they’ll resent the decision. I hope the council sits down with the owners of the seven bar/ restaurants that would be affected. And I think the council should to talk to other cities with smoking ordinances to learn their experiences. Everyone will feel better about the final version of a smoking ordinance if the council is thorough in its process.
