text: I lived in Alaska for over 50 years before moving "outside" in Wisconsin.  Wisconsin passed a workplace smoking ban a few years ago, and all the arguments I see against it were the same arguments voiced here.  The tavern league here was vehemently against it saying it would ruin the bar scene.  The exact opposite has happened.  More people go to bars now to enjoy the clean air.  The argument about pot being legal is totally off base.  In most cases, pot is smoked among pot smokers and not in public.  We don't care if you choose to smoke, just don't blow it in my face.  Come on Alaska, you're better than this!!
