off topic on this thread: i completely disagree, and not because i smoke, just if someone wants to smoke (or drink, or do drugs) it's their choice, nobody has a gun pointed to their head. i think people should be free to smoke (again, as to drink) as they want, in appropriate places, for example pubs with separate rooms for smokers and non smokers, usually i don't consider people completely stupid and everyone was made with a brain to decide for him/herself, even if we're talking about something dangerous for health. sorry but i just hate all this "this should be banned because it's bad" everyone should be free to do what the hell they want with their health, if i don't do something i don't demand other people to stop doing it too, i respect other people habits even if i don't share them and i want the same kind of respect since i try to not annoy other people with them.
