Smoking ban prompts some Michigan bars to hold lottery boycott today

The Detroit News reports:
Some bar, restaurant owners and private club operators plan to boycott the Michigan Lottery today to send a message to lawmakers that Michigan's smoking ban is hurting their business.

The Protect Private Property Rights in Michigan Team, which organized the action, hopes the boycott of games such as Keno and Lucky Lines will cost Michigan as much as $10 million or more in lottery sales.
