Hennepin County morons – Part II
This from today’s story about the repeal of the Hennepin County smoking ban:
Isis Stark, the American Cancer Society’s advocacy coordinator, was more blunt. “Exempting bars from secondhand smoke protections is like exempting coal miners from black lung protections,” she said.
What person over the age of about 6 can’t figure that out?
I’m not sure if it’ll make a difference – and I feel totally hypocritical for posting this given my strong anti-activism stance, (I seriously considered a rally to protest activism once!!) – but here’s a way to start changing this madness:
Does it bother you when someone blows cigarette smoke in your face? How about if someone did it everyday, all day while you worked? That’s exactly how a lot of bartenders and restaurant workers feel.
Secondhand smoke does more than bother their eyes – it can cause cancer, heart disease, and asthma.
Our Governor and legislators must protect all our workers from secondhand smoke by making Minnesota Smoke-Free!
