THE HERALD Wednesday May 171388- Page Georgetown mothers want local shoppers to butt out Mountainview could cost 28million A Georgetown mother appeared in front of Hills town coun cillors Monday asking shoppers to butt out Teresa McKee speaking as a delegation at the general commit tee meeting held in the town coun cil chambers said her two children who are asthmatics must breathe in other peoples smoke Its a right for smokers to smoke but it is a right for a non- smoker to go someplace without having to ask somebody to butt out said Ms McKee She said that grocery stores variety stores bowling alleys and hairdressing salons should provide smokefree areas for store patrons Georgetown Coun Ser- agreed that grocery stores shouldnt allow smoking She said smoking in the stores is just like someone coughing on your food Town staff said Halton Hills has no power to impose a townwide nonsmoking bylaw especially on private property without getting provincial government permis sion t But said Ms Toronto has the bylaw Brampton has the bylaw I feel Halton Hills and Milton should have the smoking bylaw too It hit home when the doctor gave me a choice either quit smoking or kill my daughter she said Ms McKees children are ag ed three and seven The boy is older and has better control of his breathing she said But for her daughter she told a crowd at the town hall chambers its like somebody takes their hand and squeezes it and they can no longer breathe when someone is smoking I get really really upset when you ask kindly for somebody to put a cigarette out and they wont Ms McKee presented coun cillors with respiratmg devices she must use for her children She said when her daughter has an asthmatic attack she must use steroid drugs And when she gets really bad she has to go on a machine she said Councillors heard Ms McKee describe one woman who refused to put her cigarette out when ask ed Ms said she informed the woman that her young daughter was asthmatic and couldnt stand the smoke The woman told her to leave the child at home said Ms She said dont see any signs I don have to put it out Ms said she was not at Mondays meeting to speak for herself but to protect her children and other asthmatics Shes only three years old She cant speak for herself she said Town councillors said they would review Ms McKees suggestion for no smoking signs in local retail stores
