Smoking (continued from page 4) further consideration, Mayor Frank Bivona explained that prohibition was “rolled back” because a prohibition of smoking on all public property would have an abrupt and immediate effect on employees who smoke and he would rather invest in a program to help them quit smoking and give them time to quit. Councilman Joseph Cadicina described the ordinance as “a great step in the right direction with some more to come,” and the entire council voted to introduce the ordi- nance, which is scheduled for adoption at the Dec. 16 public council meeting.
