Bans on public indoor smoking are gaining momentum. Marshfield voters approve smoke-free referendum by a 2 - 1 margin!

Fitchburg's smoke-free ordinance implemented April 1

And Minnesota is making fun of us with a billboard on I-94 near Hudson. (If anyone can find a photo of this billboard, let me know - I googled my fingers off with no luck).

Take note that the Marshfield wording only allows very limited exceptions, a necessity in order to have a concise question.

Question 1: Prohibit Smoking in Indoor Places"Should the Common Council of the City of Marshfield, Wisconsin, prohibit smoking in indoor places including any indoor place that is a place of employment or that is open to the public or to which members of the public may be invited or have lawful access, but does not apply to a private residence, a room used by a person in a retirement home as a private residence or a room in a lodging establishment that has been designated as a room where smoking is allowed?"
