Cigar Smokers Excluded from Legislation Elsewhere...

The movement to ban smoking is rampant in many states. It is, as we’ve pointed out, easy for people to attack cigarette smokers because they have been made to feel guilty about themselves and their second-hand smoke. The typical cigarette smoker simply goes on about his or her business, but never seems to even think about fighting off the bans.

Cigar smokers have had their right to smoke in designated locations preserved in Washington, D.C.

Cigar smokers have had their individual rights to smoke in retail tobacco stores preserved in Tennessee.

Similarly, cigar smokers in New Jersey have had their right to smoke in cigar bars preserved.

Doesn’t it make sense for Wisconsin’s cigar smokers to enjoy those same individual freedoms? We are all consenting adults. There is virtually no incidence of second-hand smoke being offensive to any inhabitant of cigar store smoking lounges as we’ve discussed. The employees are the owners. Additional employees tend to be almost entirely made up of the stores’ customer base since these people know the product.

We deserve to have our individual freedoms preserved!
