Appleton Smoking Ban Update.

Appleton's smoking ban will have to wait until April to be reconsidered by the voters. The city council did not approve a special election for the issue. I am not too concerned about that.

What does have me worried though is the Appleton Tavern League's president views a statewide ban as a possibility to solve their problem, to "level the playing field". Thank you sir! May I have another!

People have told me there is a pickup in business around those municipalities surrounding Appleton without a ban, but I can not believe a statewide ban would make it better. Here are the choices, a smoker can stay at home, have their beers, and smoke their smokes without hassle. Why go to a bar and pay more for the drinks? Invite some friends over and play poker or something similar.
