I don't really care one way or another about the ban but I did find it rather ironical that the homeless advocate claims that this will hurt the homeless even more because they already can’t afford to pay their fines on civil charges they're written up for. Yet somehow these same people have the money to still buy their smokes. If you want to help the homeless, start by teaching them how to better manage what little money they have and stop pampering them through all these claims of discrimination. You're only enabling the problem.
