    Many people wouldn’t mind other people smoking, as long as it doesn’t impact non-smokers. But the thing is, smokers aren’t really all that considerate about non-smokers. I attended a couple festivals over the past week. It’s really annoying when you stand in packed crowd as a non-smoker and someone starts smoking. Sure, we are outside, but it literally makes breathing harder, especially for asthma patients.

    I don’t really see a way in which smokers and non-smokers can coexists without the smoker impacting the non-smoker. Even if you only smoke outside of the restaurant/bar, it will still be annoying and unhealthy to people entering the restaurant or bar.

    I’m very curious with how things will develop in France, where they banned smoking in area’s where children are present, which is virtually everywhere.
