As an ex-smoker (Never belived I would say that!) I think smoking bans are extremely silly and stupid and well..STUPID. Why not let people decide for themselves if they want to smoke in a bar or not? Anyway, the fumes from cars are much more dangorous and no one is talking about a car - ban now, are they? And why? Because the people making and selling cars/petrol etc are way to powerful in the society....It's all a political mess I think.
