Running Head: Texas smoking bans are unconstitutional Texas smoking bans are unconstitutional Elizabeth Gibson Tarleton State University Elizabeth Gibson Texas smoking bans are unconstitutional In a heart-rending blow to the rabidly anti-tobacco Toledo Blade and the anti-tobacco operatives who shriek for prohibition, the city of Wauseon voted not to impose a smoking ban on restaurants and bars. Despite a recount showing that the margin of those voting no to prohibition had increased meaning that over fifty percent of the people didn't want something, this operative plans to take her demands again to the city council.
