I'm a big smoker, around 1/2 to 1 pack a day. (I'm nervous) But I really do agreed that it should be ban smokers in Restaurant, coz me neither, I can't eat with an astray in front of me. And also in certain area of the public, such as mall.

However, I do not agree with banning smokers in bars. Some ppl don't usualy smoke will smoke when drinking.

Either way, here is my $0.02

Was Victoria, now Ottawa
In Ottawa they banned somking and no business went under. Out here in Victoria they seem to be doing fine. I hate the smell of smoke. It gets in your cloaths. One waitress in Ottawa who worked at the Newport Restaurant (site of the Elvis sighting society) died of lung cancer from second hand smoke. She had waitressed there for as long as I can remember, long before the smoking ban.
Having said that, I hate it when people come up to smokers and lecture them. I'm no smoker but if someone chooses to smoke it's there business. One point that was raised in the movie Super Size Me was why it's socially okay to lecture smokers but if an overweight person is chowing down a big mac no one can go up to them and say, "you know your killing yourself, your overweight and eating a big mac and large fries, your destroying your bodey".

Generally, I don't smoke in other people's cars or homes-just out of common politeness and don't mind going outside to have a quick smoke. It's the Bars that bother me. I mean,you aren't even allowed to become drunk in them.So, what's the point of going to one? The bars here are all trying to become places where you can take your family to & I'd rather take them to a real restaurant..

That's where that was...I remember that story.

I know when they first banned smoking in federal government buildings (back in the 1980's) they had to make an exception for board rooms in the Indian Affairs office here or the chiefs wouldn't attend meetings.

The DIA staff were ecstatic because it meant they could still smoke at work.

That lasted for almost two years.
