May 14, 2009 -- MADISON – Wisconsin Governor Doyle today made the following statement regarding the state Legislature passing a statewide smoking ban.
“I have worked throughout my career in public life to help prevent Wisconsin children from starting to smoke and help motivate adults in our state to quit smoking. Today, Wisconsin is taking an important step to save lives and protect our kids and citizens from the scourge of tobacco.
