Debate over smoking ban hard to quit 禁烟的争论.docVIP

Legislature may vote on matter this week 2011-9-19 By Lee Bergquist of the Journal Sentinel A statewide ban on indoor smoking is moving closer to reality, but debate over its merits is far from over.The Legislature may vote by Wednesday for a ban that could go into effect in July 2010.Passage appears likely, given its bipartisan support, the enactment of similar bills in other states and the growing concern over the risks of second-hand smoke. “全州范围禁止室内吸烟”正在慢慢实现，但关于禁烟的争论却仍然剪不断理还乱。本周三立法机构将对这项禁止条例进行投票，若通过这条禁止条例将于2010年七月生效。文章看起来是得到了两党的支持，一方面类似的法案已经在其他州颁布了，另一方面公众对二手烟的危害越来越关心。But the issue isnt likely to burn out as quickly, especially in bars and restaurants where the law would have its biggest impact.Adam White, 29, of Bayside doesnt smoke, doesnt like being around people who smoke and hates the smell of cigarettes on his clothes.But I own my own business, and the last thing I want is the government telling me how to run it, he said while sipping a margarita at Rudys Mexican Restaurant, 1122 N. Edison St. on Saturday. 但是这个问题不会马上就得到解决，特别是在酒吧餐馆等地方，他们受到的影响最大。贝赛德的一位29岁的青年Adam White，他本身不抽烟，也不喜欢呆在抽烟群体中，更讨厌香烟味留在自己衣服上。某个星期天，他在一家墨西哥餐厅边啜饮玛格丽特鸡尾酒边说道：“但我有自己的公司，我根本不需要政府来告诉我应该如何经营”Another non-smoker, Paula Kershaw, 49, of Cudahy was drinking a beer at the Harp Irish Pub, 113 E. Juneau Ave. She also opposes the ban, but for different reasons.I just think that when you go to a bar, people are going to smoke, she said. You know that going in.Her companion, Rich Grasso, 48, of South Milwaukee disagreed, in essence, because one mans cigarette becomes another mans stench.Ban it, he said. 另一位来自Cudhy的不吸烟的朋友Paula Kershaw(49岁)正在Harp Irish酒吧喝啤酒。她同样反对禁烟，但是理由有所不同。她说“当你走进酒吧，看见人们都开始抽烟，于是你知道那才是正常的。”她的同伴Rich Grasso(48岁)，来自South Milwaukee不同意她的观点，因为一个人的香烟会变成另一个人的恶臭。“禁烟”他说道。As a statewide ban gained support, the Tavern League of Wisconsin backed a compromise that would allow more time to prepare for the change.The legislation would exempt cigar bars and tobacco shops.
