a dog deemed “dangerous”

While I believe some bans are simply a infringement on one’s rights, i.e. over sized soft drinks, Big Macs, $700 fines for dogs deemed “dangerous” etc., banning smoking in a public park is not unreasonable.
We are all aware of the health hazards associated cigarette smoking. It’s not a myth. Why should a nonsmoker be subjected to second-hand smoke in any public venue? No one is suggesting that smoking be banned in someone’s home. Only in places in which other people’s health could be effected by the habit.
It’s true, that if there is something to complain about, someone will find a reason to complain. Personally. I can’t complain that the Village Council is trying to protect one’s personal safety.
