Plan: OK To Spit, Not To Smoke
Item: Parks plan: OK to spit, but not smoke/Nicole Tsong, Seattle Times
More Info: Feel free to spit, but don't even try lighting up. That's the latest message from the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, which has dropped a proposal to ban spitting in parks but still is considering a ban on smoking. The department released a list of rules earlier this month that proposed banning behaviors in city parks including smoking and spitting. A public outcry followed, and in response to public comment on the issue, spitting was given a reprieve while smoking remains in the hot seat.
Question: What bothers you most when you see someone do it in public -- spitting or smoking?
