I believe that all business owners should have the right to choose whether or not to allow smoking in their establishments.
If people don’t want to patronize an establishment that allows smoking, then there are other places they can go that don’t allow it.
Why should we, as smokers, have our rights taken away from us?
Ultimately we do pay more in taxes than those of you who don’t smoke. Not to mention that it does hurt a lot of local businesses that rely on smokers and non-smokers alike.
Since the smoking ban took effect in Wausau restaurants, sales have gone down in places that used to allow smoking.
Now people are going to travel out of the city limits to go to places where they can smoke and that will also take revenue away from Wausau.
I hope more people have the courage to stand up and say something.
