Dear Palm Springs Sustainability Commission:
As a Palm Springs resident and supporter of freedom of expression, I am writing to voice my
virulent opposition to any ordinance that prevents smoking in outdoor spaces.
My husband and I host a monthly cigar social at Tool Shed that supports the income of many
staff and the bar owner. We host regular charity events that include cigars that benefit local non-
profit organizations. In the 5 years we have been hosting such events we have raised in excess of
$100,000.
Smoking is and should be a personal choice. Designating outdoor spaces for smoking is
reasonable. Any further restrictions are an infringement of personal freedom and should not be
considered.
Thank you for supporting the continuation of freedom to decide in our beautiful and inclusive
city,
Jesse Rosenberg
