Survey of BloomingtonVoters (July 2004) Page 2 <br />Voters Recognize the Benefits of Smoke-Free Public Places and Workplaces <br />Eight out of ten voters <br />(83 percent) believe that ex- <br />posure to secondhand smoke <br />is a serious (53 percent) or <br />moderate (31 percent) health <br />hazard. Eighty-four (84) per- <br />cent of voters agree that all <br />Bloomington workers should <br />be protected from exposure <br />to secondhand smoke in the <br />workplace. <br />These concerns translate <br />to the very strong belief <br />among voters (by a margin of <br />76 percent to 15 percent) that <br />the right of customers and <br />employees to breathe clean <br />air in restaurants and bars is <br />Voters Feel The Right to Breathe Clean Air Is More Important <br />Than The Right to Smoke In Restaurants and Bars <br />WhFCh on4 9f the �d+►� ab yeu tl�Ink IS mol'e tmportant? <br />�The rights of customers and employees to breathe clean air in <br />restaurants and bars <br />The rights of smokers fio smoke in restaurants and bars <br />R�h�l1n 4��e <br />p1�r, �Ir <br />Right of smokers to <br />smoke in restaurants <br />and bars <br />�x ra� �rx e� eax iare <br />�.•� M�}��..W�y� Y.r�•. aY.��i��i <br />��.,� ���,�,.��. <br />more important than the right <br />of smokers to smoke in these places. Even 42 percent of regular and occasional smokers believe the right <br />of people to breathe clean air in restaurants and bars is more important than their right to smoke in those <br />places. <br />Patrons of restaurants and bars in Bloomington indicated that these establishments would be healthier <br />and more enjoyable if they were smoke-fiee. More than eight out of ten Bloomington voters (85 percent) <br />believe that these places would be healthier, and 83 percent want to be able to enjoy restaurants and bars <br />in the city without smelling like smoke at the end of the evening. <br />The poll also found that Bloomington voters are more likely to visit restaurants and bars if the smoke- <br />free law is enacted. Nearly four times as many voters would go out to restauran,ts and bars more often as <br />would go out less often if all Bloomington restaurants and bars were smoke-fiee (26 percent more to 7 <br />percent less, with the balance indicating that the law would not a£fect how often they go out). <br />Impact on Candidate Support <br />Finally, the survey shows that voters will express their support for smoke-free workplace legislation <br />at the polls. By a margin of more than twato-one (60 percent to 27 percent), Bloomington voters prefer a <br />candidate for city office who supports a law to prohibit smoking in all workplaces over one who opposes <br />it. This support comes ftom a majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents. Additionally, a <br />strong majority of voters (62 percent) would have a more favorable view of a candidatewho supported a <br />law that would prohibit smoking in public places and workplaces in Bloomington. <br />
