Letters: Smoking ban needs to expand across state

...Another study found that those people exposed to secondhand smoke have a 25 percent higher chance of having coronary heart disease than people not exposed to secondhand smoke.

I feel it was a great first step in the process of banning smoking, but other cities need to follow Appleton.

If no other cities follow, then the purpose of the bill is defeated.

People can just drive a few extra miles to a restaurant outside the city limits and smoke.

The state needs to set an example and pass a bill banning smoking in the state.

If Wisconsin takes the first step in banning smoking, maybe other states will join in the cause.

The more states that ban smoking, the less people will suffer from secondhand smoke, which will reduce the number of deaths attributed to secondhand smoke.

For the sake of those who don't smoke, a statewide smoking ban needs to be passed.
