ORDINANCE ANALYSIS OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BANTAY, ILOCOS SUR
ORDINANCE No. 254/05
ORDINANCE No. 301/08
ORDINANCE No. 337/11
ORDINANCE No. 375/14

ORDINANCE No. 254/05
AN ORDINANCE REGULATING SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES AND PROVIDING PENALTIES THERETO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT 9211, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS “THE TOBACCO REGULATORY ACT OF 2003”
Section 1 states that smoking is strictly banned in public places such as youth activity center, elevators and stairwells, near fire hazards, buildings and premises of public and private hospitals, public conveyances and public facilities, and food preparation areas. This is observed in some places. In schools, for example, they do prohibit smoking but other students smoke especially those college students when is not seen by public authorities and concerned teachers. I have seen people smoking near gasoline stations. It’s inappropriate! But what’s more disgusting are the gasoline boys who have seen it yet hadn’t done anything about it. They must’ve known that smoking is dangerous especially it’s in the station. Every gasoline station must have CCTV cameras to properly secure their customers and workers. Hospitals like Metro Vigan Cooperative Hospital and other health facilities strictly prohibit smoking. It’s proven and I’ve observed this. Food stalls does not prohibit smoking because it’s their customers and/or perhaps they do not have knowledge of the ordinance.
Section 2 states the designation of smoking and non-smoking areas. Establishments and schools must have a smoking zone and non-smoking area to properly observe orderliness and cleanliness. Section 5 states the penalties for violating the ordinance. I haven’t heard so far any complainant or being warned of smoking.
This ordinance is helpful to the inhabitants and tourists of Bantay, Ilocos Sur. If properly observes, it will manifest that the people of Bantay are good and law-abiding citizens. The people reflect the

    In August 2014, Transportation Network Companies (TNC) initiated operations illegally within Broward County and at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). On January 13, 2015, (Item No. 43), the Broward County Board of Commissioners (Board) directed staff and the office of the County Attorney to draft an Ordinance to regulate TNCs operations. The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) was directed by the Board to commence negotiations with the TNCs to draft an “Interim Agreement”. Following several attempts to come to an agreement on interim operating requirements and fee structures, an Interim Agreement could not be reached. TNC (Uber) would not agree upon the terms which would require them to carrier the same insurance minimums as other commercial vehicle operators within Broward County, background checks and the ability to audit at the request of either entity. On April 28, 2015, (Items No. 9 and 10), the Board approved Ordinances 2015-21 (TNC regulations) and 2015-22 (Background Investigation Requirements) putting unresolved issues to rest. Both TNCs operating in Broward County (Uber and Lyft) finally executed the License Agreements. Questions remained as to how FLL would ensure fee collection, audit, enforce operating policies on TNC’s and keep the rest of the commercial vehicle industry….…

Society’s beliefs have changed on this subject and the laws have changed to keep pace, “fifty years ago it was polite to ask somebody would you like a smoke?

    Joshua Davenport owned a coffee bar/bistro in the small town of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania situated on the Delaware River. He wanted to bring the old world elegance to his rural community, a place where neighbors could meet and converse over espresso drinks prepared by an expert barista. The shops name is called “Espressivo” that attracted many young people, especially the college students at the nearby campus, and older clients who came before and/ or after work to either start their day or end it during the week. Keeping with the tradition of a European espresso bar, Joshua allowed smoking inside the bar and the patio that surrounded the open air layout of the corner location, because he wanted his customers to feel comfortable.…

    ANALYSIS/ PERSONAL COMMENTARY: This is substantive law as it is defining the liability that the employer has to keep employees/clients/customers from smoking on the premises of their place of business. And I think the fact that the employer will get a court order requiring them to enforce the law is a smart step to ensure that the law will be followed more strictly.…

    It is the ethical thing to do, if you see children, to walk away before lighting a cigarette, not to smoke in front of building doors, in a car, or, in a park. Why should a child’s life be susceptible, to cancer, respiratory disease and ultimately death, because a smoker doesn’t care about theirs? Education, especially for the parents whom are smokers, need to be implemented as it pertains to their children and the effects and diseases they are exposing their children…

    Anytime you can stop a person from lighting up a cigarette, whether they resent the fact or not, you’re doing them a favor”- (Poland). In Poland’s article, Smoking, Stigma, and the Purification of Public Space, he addresses the many problems smokers go through in a day. From public ostracization because of health concerns, to restrictions on when and where they can smoke in public spaces. Smokers tend to smoke more often when surrounded by other smokers, as well as hide the fact that they smoke the more it is made to seem shameful. Throughout the nineties’ many governments used public policy to ban smoking in public establishments such as restaurants, grocery stores, and bars, though these laws were rarely enforced legally, the public behavior…

    “As far as bars go, I am down with them to stay smoking because it’s an isolated environment that you can choose to go to or not,” said Jailynn Suswal, an administrative assistant at The John Buck Co. “I don’t understand the whole bar population being required to be non-smoking.” “Now that smoking isn’t allowed within 15 feet of buildings, walking downtown sucks,” said Suswal, the administrative assistant. “The sidewalks are consumed with pockets of smokers, and as a pedestrian, I am constantly walking through clouds of smoke.” If this policy of the 15 feet rule were in affect here, it would create more second-hand smoke on our city’s…
