| I agree with you, ironeagle.
Although I've been struggling to quit for years and don't even smoke inside my own apartment or car, I'm still a bit dumbfounded by state laws--especially regarding bars.
I think it should completely be up to the establishment's owner on the smoking policy--the state has no business mandating this. What they should mandate are regulations regarding smoking sections (must be self-contained room, etc) if an establishment chooses to allow smoking and non-smoking sections conjointly--that would imply that some establishments may be entirely smoking.
Maryland switched to smoking bans in bars and restaurants at the beginning of this year. Prior to this year, Wisconsin did not have a ban, but this may have changed. In Colorado, a smoking ban exists for both bars and restaurants. |
