As for the market, those with money didn't all get there by taking huge risks and having a smoke-free pub is still seen as a risk here. A great bar with great beer (and no, I'm not talking about the mis-spelled Lite) would do well. There is no good pub here in the Milwaukee area that is smoke-free.

If that's true though, so be it. My wife has to drive over the border to get her favorite brand of shoes. Why? Because either the market isn't developed enough yet in Milwaukee, or, it is but no savvy entrepreneur has capitalized on it. Same thing in this case. If there are so many out there like you, then I would assume some restraunteur could make a fortune marketing someless pubs. Government, let Jonny Vassalo or Hans Weissgerber straighten this out, not you... I find it hard to believe that you had to go 3500 miles to find a pub atmosphere without smoking.
