I am an avid smoker, but I think its the right way to go; I can't think of how smoking was allowed on planes until a few years ago, if you think of the danger of it. In Itlay we already have this law, and, ok I don't live there, but hearing my friends, its not such a bog deal. At restaurants its a great thing for example ( maybe not so much in discos and pubs though
). I think it will do no harm to smokers, wwe always find a way for a smoke....

Apparently there will be a fine of £50 on the spot...about $100...or...£200 $400..if taken to court!.....I really can't see how they can police this ....it will cause quite a lot of problems I think....ah well it will be interesting to see how the public will react!  |
