At Issue: Should some hotel rooms be designated for smoking?

Full story: Wisconsin State Journal

Wisconsin inns and hotels would be able to allow smoking in up to 25 percent of their rooms under a bill in the Legislature that would amend the statewide smoking ban.

I am all for this. I believe people have the right to choose, and setting the bar as low at 25% means most people will not have trouble finding a smoke-free room. I suppose they could make a rule that all smoking rooms need to be segregated to minimize any drift effects.

Otherwise, I'd love to see a 10-25% rule for bars/taverns.

Due to the "sunset provision" on page 15 of the tobacco control handbook, these bans are pretty much "cast in stone" until the next election. See page 15:
