I am in no way qualified for politics. I thought this was very interesting. I would love to get some feed back and maybe find out your view. Also, If you have a way to modify our law, send it over to me at info@madurowoman.com
Q. In fairness to Proprietors, Employees, Smokers and Non Smokers, the new Illinois smoking law should read like this...
For Bars, Restaurants, Bowling Alleys and Casinos.
Smoking for even numbered addresses on even numbered calendar days is permitted.
Smoking for odd numbered addresses on odd numbered calendar days is permitted.
Employees can apply for Non Smoking or Smoking days.
This is fair to all, the antis will not have a leg to stand on once "second hand smoke" and the "employee health” is eliminated from their argument, this idea would do just that.
Let me know what you think?
Thanks,
Kevin
A. While it is a very creative idea, I do not think it is a feasible one. It causes too much confusion. The law is pretty flat when it comes to rule making. Either it is or it isn't. An idea of that nature would cause businesses to lose. Customers will be forced to not go to a bar or restaurant because there is smoking on even days. If a particular business would like to enforce that sort of rule then to each its own but to enforce a law of that nature would be confusing. One's ritual to dine out every Saturday would be reduced to maybe every other Saturday or simply they may opt to do something else all together. Honestly, I do not feel that the law should have ruled out smoking in these places all together. They should have really left it up to the particular businesses to enforce their own rules. The law should regulate unfairness and prejudice and allow businesses to practice a smoking or non smoking rule.
