Survey Finds Support for Ban
The Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter is running an AP story that discusses a survey that has found that "nearly two-thirds of Wisconsin residents support a statewide ban on smoking in all bars, restaurants and work places" and that "support cuts across party lines, with 73 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of Republicans favoring such a ban." Unrelated to the survey but related to the topic at hand, the article points out that "Doyle said earlier this month that he does not want to exempt bars, but he is willing to compromise."

I, for one, welcome the statewide ban. I didn't realize how much I appreciated Madison's smoking ban until I was home for a while a couple weeks ago. The smoke in my local (Milwaukee 'burb) watering hole was just awful.
