Personally, I think the whole anti-smoking thing that's being pushed these days is crap. I mean, yes, it's bad for you, and yes, as a nonsmoker myself I generally prefer to do things without being surrounded by smoke - but for crying out loud, what was wrong with smoking and nonsmoking sections? They always seemed to work fairly well to me; I mean, most of them are in separate rooms, so what's the big deal? For that matter, what the hell is up with the 'no smoking in bars' thing? Who worries about their health when they're in a bar? There are no 'healthy bars' - if you go into a bar for a drink, you are indulging in an unhealthy activity. It may be less addictive than tobacco, but you compare a heavy drinker with a heavy smoker and then tell me which one has the better-functioning mind. Personally, I think it ought to be up to the owner of the place - if most of your clientele are smokers, what's the point of making them go outside? It's nannyism, is what it is. Next thing you know, they'll make it illegal to eat fatty foods, or drink, or wear cotton fibers. (Some people are allergic, you know.) You're never going to stomp out smoking entirely - it's been with us since the damn of humankind - and everybody already knows the risks, so what the hell's the point? It's just making people feel uncomfortable so others can feel self-righteous, is what it is.
