No Ban on Club Smoking in Wakefield

http://www.wakefielditem.com/news.htm
Responding to recent inquiries, the chairman of the Wakefield Board of Health said his board will not attempt to ban smoking in private clubs.
Stella, in a letter to the Daily Item, wrote that he has received a few complaints from members about smoking in their clubs.

“All members of the Board of Health agree that second-hand smoke is harmful. The majority of the board members feel when a member enters a private club and that door closes behind the member, it becomes the club's business,” Stella wrote.

“If smoking is an annoyance to you in your clubs, it is your responsibility to do something about it. You really do not want us (the government) in your clubs,” he added.
