A Smoke-Free Wisconsin

• 

Ok, so not completely smoke-free, but as of July 5, 2010, all bars, restaurants, and workplaces in the state of Wisconsin will be non-smoking. Governor Doyle signed the measure in to law earlier today, saying, “It’s time for every person in Wisconsin to breathe freely at restaurants, taverns, and workplaces across the state. A smoke-free Wisconsin will save money in health care costs, improve public health and save lives.” Having lived in Minneapolis when this was passed in Hennepen County, I look forward to once again going in to Restaurants and not being asked “smoking or non” and being able to go out to drink without reeking of smoke.
