    A recent survey finds that most Manitobans want to enjoy outdoor patios and other public places without being exposed to second hand smoke. About 2 in 3 (67%) support extending smoking bans to outdoor patios of restaurants and bars, an increase from 58% in 2008. About 3 in 4 Manitoba smokers would like to quit and one effective way of supporting their quit attempts is to increase smoking bans in outdoor public places.
