By admin - Posted on May 7th, 2009
May 06, 2009 -- MADISON – Wisconsin Governor Doyle today made the following statement about an agreement to a statewide smoking ban.
"I am pleased that an agreement has been reached in response to my call for a statewide smoking ban.
“Throughout my entire career in public life, I’ve fought to protect our kids and our citizens from the scourge of tobacco. For years, I have called on the Legislature to pass a statewide smoking ban in order to help prevent Wisconsin children from starting to smoke and help motivate adults in our state to quit smoking. I wish the ban would be implemented sooner but today we are one step closer to a statewide smoking ban that is fair and equitable.
“It is time for Wisconsin to take a step that improves our health, saves lives and helps people to break the addiction to tobacco.”
