Smoking Doesn’t Kill You The Government Does!

This year’s 4th of July did not leave small business owners in Wisconsin with a feeling that liberty was alive and well in America. In fact it left them with quite the opposite.

Of all days of the year the Wisconsin State Government chose Independence Day to tell small business owners that they were not free to choose whether or not their restaurants were smoke free environments. Smoking bans have been passed before and there has always been a small segment of the population (besides smokers) who recognizes it for what it is. Destruction of property rights. Well Sue Robinson did.

When a state government (or the federal government) starts deciding that they have the right to tell business owners what they can and can’t do with a legal substance on their premises it is time to say enough is enough. This is a clear violation of our rights.
