Smoke Ban at One WeekMonday, 12 July 2010 08:44 | | |
After one week, you might understand if the state of Wisconsin was still in a transition mode under the state's new indoor workplace smoking ban. Actually, Smokefree Wisconsin's Maureen Busalacchi says things are going pretty well. Even at bars. Busalacchi says that non-smokers are venturing out and exploring taverns that would have avoided before because of the smoke. Busalacchi contends that any business bars are losing now by going non-smoking, they'll more than make up for later. But, she admits, there just might be some bars that don't survive having the state go non-smoking indoors.
