While I agree with this question generally, this time it was the republican lead Senate that did this. The speaker of the house is generally against smoking bans. I believe that both parties are the same anymore........scumbags!

Sen. Bruce Patterson, R-Canton Township, echoed some other Republicans, saying he once opposed a statewide smoking ban but had changed his mind because of a second report by the U.S. Surgeon General that found secondhand smoke to be a public health hazard.

"I'm now on the right side of the issue," Patterson said.








Doesn't matter any more, my friend. The only difference is the rhetoric they vomit out of their mouths to get elected. Welcome to the 1 party system.

Again -- why do people insist on partisan bickering when TFA clearly states it's bipartisan?

From IPCPR...

Michigan: Smoking Ban Bill Gains Momentum
Exemptions for Retail Tobacco Shops Stripped by Senate


The Michigan Legislature is currently considering House Bill 4163, legislation that, if approved and signed by the governor, would ban smoking throughout the state. The bill passed the House and was then taken up in the Senate where ALL EXEMPTIONS were stripped--including the exemption for retail tobacco shops.

The bill goes back to the House for a new vote. We have only a matter of a few days to contact all state representatives to urge them to exempt retail tobacco shops. Take Action NOW! Share this with your customers-NOW!

I'll throw in a quiet "amen," but I also agree ... democrat or republican, it's obvious that we're electing idiots.

Who's going to start working on a centrally-located Metro Detroit private smoking club?

Re: Mich. Senate Passes Ban.
Looks like only one Democrats voted no: Jim Barcia of Bay City.
There were a lot of Republicans voting no, just not enough.

Re: Mich. Senate Passes Ban.
Particularly with the weather, this is going to put a huge damper on smoking for about 9 months out of the year while its snowing.

Re: Mich. Senate Passes Ban.
The Bosco in Ferndale has an outdoor patio area that is an incredible place to enjoy a drink in the summer.

..... and I'll never go there again. An Article by the Owner in the Detroit Free Press
