There's no reason why bar and restaurant workers should be expected to work in an environment that causes cancer and heart disease. Legislating smoke-free environments guarantees that every worker's right to breathe smoke-free air is protected, and that's why smoke-free legislation is the preferred tool for dealing with this issue.SmokeFree Wisconsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314217837382592060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-58867702223897196202007-08-21T15:57:00.000-06:002007-08-21T15:57:00.000-06:00Weak.

If you don't like second hand smoke, don't go to places where people smoke. Simplicity at it's finest.WrstCudHppnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701904874048539114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-40683101084552904862007-08-03T15:21:00.000-06:002007-08-03T15:21:00.000-06:00The Tavern League poll should be officially dubbed...The Tavern League poll should be officially dubbed "The Pole Dancing Poll". <BR/><BR/>There is no better example of this misrepresentation of realty than the last Appleton vote. The proponents of rolling back the law tried to make the same false argument about "adult only" venues, but one of the places they wanted to exempt even had a children's menu.<BR/><BR/>Plus, all this poll question really shows (yet again) is that most people want smoke-free environments. This question doesn't show that anyone is against covering bars--and it certainly doesn't test covering every business equally and fairly. How many more polls do we need that show it is time for a smoke-free law?!?<BR/><BR/>Finally, yet again, they are ignoring the Surgeon General and the most importnat issue--we all deserve the same basic health protection from deadly secondhand smoke...even strippers (there has to be a line here about healthy looking lungs, but someone else can go there...).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
