The Wisconsin Asthma Coalition recognized the Governor for passing the statewide smoke-free law which goes into effect next year. They also wanted to thank city leaders in Marshfield for stepping up and  putting out their butts a little early. 


Marshfield went smoke-free by referendum in April's election last year. The rest of the state will join next year in July.
