It's time to start kicking these do-gooders' behinds!

[flashbunny]

More idiocy for your amusement.

"Exceptions would include tobacco stores, outdoor patios and private homes"

How so very generous of them.../sarcasm

[Just A Nobody]

Exceptions would include tobacco stores, outdoor patios and private homes, unless the home is used for a day care operation. It would also prohibit designated smoking areas immediately adjacent to outside public entrances.

Mighty big of 'em to allow one to smoke in their own home!!!

[Mark]

The first violation would bring a warning, while the second would carry a $75 fine and any additional violations during a calendar year would mean $100 fines.

They could regret that. Suppose thousands of violators just say they are innocent and begin to really tie up the court system. With that small amount of fines, the city courts would be crippled. It sounds like an infraction, so no jury trial probably. I don't know the laws of that state.

The ordinance would ban smoking in public places ....

These are NOT public places - they are private businesses..........

I'm going to start my little poem from Prohibition days: it's appropriate to the occasion.,

THE MARCHING SONG OF THE MINDLESS MINIONS OF PROHIBITION I.,

We never eat cookies because they have yeast,

The least taste of which turns a man to a beast.

Oh can't you imagine the dreadful disgrace

Of a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.

We must get rid of rum by gum,

Rum by gum,

Rum by gum,

We must get rid of rum.

We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,

The least taste of which turns a man to a bum.

Oh can't you imagine the terrible sight,

Of a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight.

We must get rid of rum by gum,

Rum by gum,

Rum by gum,

We must get rid of rum.

Read what Wisconsin smokers already contributes to the state economy:

Wisconsin Smokers Contribution to the state

Exceptions would include tobacco stores

Tobacco stores? If you can't use it because it's bad for you, why can you sell it? Well-meaning liberals, proudly half-stepping to a nanny state.

[SheLion]

Police and city health inspectors would enforce the ordinance.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Good catch! I hadn't heard that one yet, but I'm a little behind this morning.

I just can't wait until the socialists completely bankrupt my state. Then I'm going to buy it, because I'll be the only one in WI with enough ready cash to bail them out. I saved it all up by not smoking, LOL!

Then I'm going to use the Eminent Domain laws to kick out all of the Socialists. And then I'll open up my state to Freepers only with land at bargain prices. And we'll build a big-@ss fence all around the borders of the state.

And then my Life's Work will be done. ;)
