Smoking Bans

By Bill Kerschner

I am a longtime Republican Conservative and a business owner. I recently vacationed in the beautiful State of Alaska and hope to visit again. I strongly support Smoking Bans, especially for restaurants and other work places.

Our six year old comprehensive statewide Smoking Law has been good for health and good for business. Recents poll show that over 86% of Illinois residents, including a majority of smokers, now support the Smoking Law. In our State Legislature the Smoking Ban is strongly backed by both Republicans and Democrats.

The time has arrived for Alaska to enact a sensible and effective State wide Smoking Law to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke.
