Researchers concluded that 97 percent of the bars and restaurants now have “good” or “satisfactory” air, based on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources standards. Prior to the ban, 87 percent of the tested establishments had “unhealthy” air, the report said. “It’s absolutely cleaner and absolutely better,” said Mark Loppnow, owner of Loppnow’s Bar in Wausau, where smoking was permitted prior to the ban.
Loppnow said it’s too soon to tell, but he suspects the lack of cigarette smoke in the air will result in less maintenance and cleaning for his business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and will protect the 14 plasma TVs in the bar. But despite the improved air quality, an array of opinions still swirl around the ban. Schultz said that though he enjoys his workplace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s hard for him to get away from the bar during a busy night to have a cigarette,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that he still gets mixed reports from his customers.
“People who don’t smoke appreciate it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], obviously,” he said in regards to the air quality. “But there’s also the other side of that. People who do smoke get ornery about not being able to smoke after a meal.” At Wiggly Field tavern in Weston, employees and patrons have been breathing clean air since 2009, when the owners decided to make the bar smoke free ahead of the state ban. Joanne Paluch, who owns Wiggly Field with her husband, Pat Paluch, said the smoke odor was gone immediately after they cleaned the bar from top to bottom and added a fresh coat of paint. “It’s definitely better for everyone,” she said. “It has to be.”
Altria Group Inc, the owner of the UST,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the largest smokeless tobacco manufacturer in the country agreed to pay a $5 million settlement in a lawsuit initiated by the family of a long-term smokeless tobacco user who perished due to mouth cancer at the age of 42. The settlement�Dwhich was accomplished some time ago and finalized just recently �Dis much unexpected since experts admit that no ruling has ever been applied against a tobacco company for allegedly causing damage by smokeless tobacco that is consumed by putting between gums and lips.
According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff accused UST Inc. of decease of Bobby Hill, citizen of North Carolina, who died aged 42 in 003. Mr. Hill had been using UST’s major brands Scoal and Cpenhagen for almost 30 years, taking up the habit when he was 13. Altria Group purchased UST in 2010. The company spokesman stated the settlement was accomplished before Altria acquired UST, and added that Altria does not intend to reach settlement in similar cases in the future. In a statement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Altria admitted that there are similar legal cases pending against UST, but refused to reveal the exact number.
Antonio Ponvert III, attorney of the plaintiff, stated that Mr. Hill started using smokeless tobacco in the 1970s, when these products didn’t have any health warnings. “The fact that Mr. Hill become was addicted in adolescence dismissed any personal responsibility defense, and the lack of any health warning meant the industry was not able to state that they have warned people,”declared the attorney.
