Houston health policy director suggests taking camera phone photos for anti-smoking ban

Houston's mayoral health policy director, Elena Marks, suggests that consumers who would see people breaking a proposed anti-smoking measure could take camera phone photos for evidence, according to an article in the Houston Chronicle.

The draft measure would ban smoking from bars in restaurants and in freestanding bars.  The measure would require bar owners to post no-smoking signs and ask customers to stop smoking.

However, the proposed legislation doesn't require owners to ask smokers to leave.

In the article, Marks puts at least some of the onus on camera phone users.   She suggests they could file complaints and provide proof by taking photos of smokers and also trying to obtain their identification.
