[Ord. No. 2005-05-23-01 § 5, 5-23-2005]
A. 
The City Council of Greenwood, Missouri, does hereby find that:
1. 
Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to indoor air pollution and that breathing secondhand smoke (also known as environmental tobacco smoke) is a cause of disease in healthy non-smokers, including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and lung cancer.
2. 
The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program has listed secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen.
3. 
Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals with cardiovascular disease and individuals with impaired respiratory function, including asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease.
4. 
Children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk of asthma, respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome, developmental abnormalities and cancer.
5. 
The Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that disabled persons have access to public places and workplaces, deems impaired respiratory function to be a disability.
6. 
The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that the simple separation of smokers and non-smokers within the same air space may reduce, but does not eliminate, the exposure of non-smokers to secondhand smoke.
7. 
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that secondhand smoke cannot be reduced to safe levels in businesses by high rates of ventilation. Air cleaners, which are only capable of filtering the particular matter and odors in smoke, do not eliminate the known toxins in secondhand smoke.
B. 
Accordingly, the City of Greenwood, Missouri, Board of Aldermen finds and declares that the purposes of this Chapter are:
1. 
To protect the public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public buildings, and
2. 
To guarantee the right of non-smokers to breathe smoke-free air and to recognize that the need to breathe smoke-free air shall have priority over the desire to smoke.
