Michigan Smoking Ban
Apr. 22nd, 2009 05:03 pmThe Michigan Legislature might put an across-the-board workplace smoking ban on the ballot next year:

I hope they do and I hope it passes. The bill would ban smoking from ALL places where people work, including bars, restaurants, and casinos. I loathe smoking, and I don't see why there should be exceptions for bars and casinos. Less than a quarter of the population smokes. Why should the 75% of us that don't smoke have to put up with their exhalations? They don't need it to live. It's not a handicap, nor is it a special circumstance. They can smoke outside or on their own property, not in a place where someone has to work eight or ten hours a day.
