Poll

Should La Cañada officials heed the call of the American Lung Association to craft local ordinances that would regulate smoking in public places?

  • Yes. The city should follow in the footsteps of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank.
  • No. This is supposed to be a free country. We do not need more laws.
  • I hardly ever see anyone smoking in town, so this does not seem to be a local problem.
