France will impose a ban on smoking starting feb 1st 2007!
I guess your european way of life dogma is getting hurt bad with this ;)
From CBC.ca
France moves to limit smoking
France will ban smoking in many public locations in February, and will extend the prohibition to restaurants, clubs and bars in early 2008, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said Sunday.
"I am convinced the French people are now ready," he told LCI television, adding the move is a "public health necessity" because 60,000 people in France die from smoking-related causes each year and another 5,000 from second-hand smoke.
The government is preparing a decree that will forbid smoking in schools, train stations, airports, offices, public buildings and other enclosed public spaces on Feb. 1, the prime minister said.
The government will enforce it with fines of about $100 for individual violators and $200 for owners of buildings who allow smoking. France's health-care system will pay some of the costs incurred by those trying to quit.
Some opponents said the measure, which has been under discussion for more than a year, violates their freedom.
Other European countries, including Ireland, Spain, Britain and Italy, have already moved against public smoking.

help me out, I am a smoker, does anyone know if cigarettes are worse now than they were say in the 50's?
because everyone knows that they are bad, they aren't getting better or worse. And yet people who do it will continue, regardless of whether they are allowwed to.
And the people, espeically in European comminuties generally are for the most part aware that cigaretes are part of the public sphere. And from my experiances in Southern Europe they seem to be ok with that.
So why does it appear as though cigarettes are more and more being pushed to the small pockets of society on a global scale? This is crazy.
In the movie "thank you for smoking" there is a funny line in there that says something to the effect of "smoking in films are reserved for psycopaths and Eurpoeans" I laughed cause it seemed true, apparently that may not be the case for much longer. |

| Has anyone here ever smoked a Gitanne or a Gauloise? Could there be any stronger a cigarette? Suck one of these back, and you're hacking out your lungs for a week. |
