Letter: Stamp out all smoking in downtown Burbank

Yes, the Burbank City Council should be looking at potentially banning the use of e-cigarettes in public places.

Before they do anything about e-cigarettes they should be enforcing the existing city ordinance, which prohibits smoking in many places including downtown Burbank. They should walk down San Fernando Road in front of the Fantasia business where people smoke no more than 10 feet from the front door and/or city sidewalk. The smoke can be smelled from a block away.

It is time for the city to do what is right, for health reasons, to simplify enforcement and eliminate secondhand smoke and stop all smoking for everyone in downtown Burbank.
