Tri-City in Fremont: LGBT Tobacco Prevention Project, "Butt
out of our bars". Funding from the fact that they have funding to
deal with LGBT smoking, who tend to smoke 3 times as much as the
general population. There is a gay bar in San José (plus at least 8
other bars in SJ) where tobacco company reps distribute cigarettes
for 1 pack for $1 at that bar that night. Splash, Caravan, Gringos,
Branham Lounge, Pure Lounge (Svle). Or buy one get one free or ...
. All this makes it easier for people to get hooked. <br>
<br>
<br>
Councilmember Ash Kalra and others are supporting an ordinance
to outlaw passing out for free or minimal cost cigarettes or coupons
for same. San Francisco and many other cities in the bay area have
bans like this. San José does not. <br>
<br>
<br>
Another ordinance proposes to ban e-cigarettes. <br>
<br>
<br>
Residents of San José are encouraged to contact their City
Council representatives, asking them to support bans on free and
minimal cost cigarettes and e-cigarettes. <br>
<br>
<br>
Tian: Dan Winkler and Thomas Spielbauer were two of the people who
got one of the first anti-smoking ordinances in the US passed. <br>
