Yes..I was so happy to be able to sit by the bar area with my kid and family and be able to watch the Football game...and NO SMOKING is permitted. I personally think that sport bars/taverns would attract the non smokers if they only give it a chance.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222591709569216965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-91198158693506398112007-12-28T16:29:00.000-06:002007-12-28T16:29:00.000-06:00Yes this is a free country!

Why do I have to breathe smokey air when I go into every bar/tavern or resturaunt that I go into to have fun? or to enjoy a nice meal? Is that freedom? I dont think so!!! Every Bar is a smoking bar, so where do people who dont want to smell like smoke or have smoke in their lungs go? "Anonymous" must be smoker and probably does not care if people are dying from Cancer and smoking being a major contributor!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-5494388621704000582007-12-28T14:58:00.000-06:002007-12-28T14:58:00.000-06:00I wouldn't call our inaction on this issue leaders...I wouldn't call our inaction on this issue leadership by any means. Businesses, especially in the hospitality industry, are regulated by many policies that help ensure public safety. Mandatory cooking temperatures, capacity limits, and requiring employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom are just a few examples of policies that are working right now.SmokeFree Wisconsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314217837382592060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-11645495969040008362007-12-26T11:58:00.000-06:002007-12-26T11:58:00.000-06:00I think that Wisconsin is being a frontrunner by n...I think that Wisconsin is being a frontrunner by not mandating a smoking ban. This is supposed to be a free country and if a business owner wants to allow smoking in his business they should be allowed to. If a consumer doesn't like it they don't have to patronize the establishment. It is simple economics; If there was a demand for smoke free bars from consumers, there would be smoke free bars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397141130780617925.post-36970277993899669892007-12-18T13:57:00.000-06:002007-12-18T13:57:00.000-06:00I agree!
