It was with pronounced eye-rolling that I read the latest study by the UW-Madison Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center. Funded in part by the state Tobacco Prevention and Control Program and Smoke Free Wisconsin, the study?s author, David Ahrens, looked at antismoking ordinances in seven Wisconsin cities and found they did not eliminate hospitality industry jobs or cause bars and restaurants to close. Of course they didn?t. To find otherwise would be like a tobacco industry study finding its products kill you.
