Smoke-free Wisconsin

[Barry Butrymowicz]

Another step towards socialism give it the rest of the 4 years and Obama will look more like Karl Marx.

I do agree with the no smoking ban, but its just another liberty taken away

Remember sweetlife, this is the same group that wants to ban smoking but legalize marijuana 😕

All right, as I think I said before, nothing good comes of discussing religion or politics here, so I’ll shut up now…promise.

Well, Kat, sometimes people have to be told what is for their own good!

Hooray for Wisconsin. Finally ………

I would have to do some Research, but I remember from World History, that this was a Quote by the leader Adolph Hitler……

You also chose to go into places where people were smoking

Sure everyone has a right to breath smoke-free air, but they don’t have to patronize a business that allows smoking or work in a place that allows smoking.

And as for making smoking illegal, that’s just stupid.

No need for a personal attack, Lostby7.

There was no intent at a personal attack…just pointing out that if the government banned smoking altogeather that would be a stupid move on their part. I’m sorry if you took that comment as an attack. As I’m a big fan of anything that reduces cancer this is a hot topic for me and I may not have phraised my comment very well.

Eau Claire’s been smoke free for about a year now and many of the bars and taverns that were hurting have established outdoor smoking areas attached to their tavern. Arguably, they are holding their own, and I don’t believe any have gone out of business.

I don’t believe in intrusive government, but seriously, smoking has had it’s day and that day is long gone. It belongs outside and quite frankly, exposing a child to secondhand smoke in the home is borderline abusive.

There’s actually a scene in the Exorcist, made in the 70’s, where the doctor examining the girl lights up in the hospital! Considered outrageous by all standards today, 30 years from now I imagine people will be incredulous that smoking was allowed indoors at all.

That reminds me of my doctor back in the early ’70s. He would be smoking a cigar while he examined you.

Doctors used to smoke at a higher rate than the general population. It was thought that the smoke was protective from tuberculosis. However, once the ill effects of tobacco became apparent, most doctors quit. These days fewer than 4% of physicians smoke (significantly less than the 22% of the general population).
