Smoke Signals: How intense should Philly's war on tobacco be?

People who spew tobacco smoke into the air without regard for how what they are doing might affect your health?
Or: Prissy busybodies who give you tedious lectures about the evils of that cherished pleasure in your life, the occasional smoke?
Either way, you might be interested in Smoke Signals. It's a community forum series we at WHYY are launching this week.
It will be a series of dialogues, in four corners of the city, about what you might or might not be willing to support in terms of tobacco policies in Philadelphia.
We're gathering this input on behalf of the city Department of Public Health, which has given us a list of nine possible approaches to tobacco control. The department wants to know which of those measures you might be inclined to support, which oppose - and how fervently.
Some, such as the idea of mandating warning signs about tobacco's health effects at every point of sale, are actively on the table. A hearing on that one was held in the city on Sept. 8.
Some, such as banning smoking in public parks or banning the sale of tobacco near schools, have been tried in other cities and are being studied here.
Some, such as banning smoking in all public housing, are not within the department's purview, but have been discussed in other cities.
