It won't die, and I am resurrecting it yet again to put in my .02. I don't smoke, never have, but I'll be damned if I'm going to tell anyone whether or not they can light up unless I am in my own home or car. It's a legal activity and is no business of mine. Rather than mandating a smoking ban, we'd ge better off mandating adequate ventilation systems in public places.

I do rather like how Amtrack deals with this. Has anyone taken Amtrack over the years? In general they have a "smoking car". I have even seen some of these cars with a hall leading people from one car to another seperated by glass that the smoker walks in a door from. One time I was walking down one of these halls and looked to the smoking side and wondered if Amtrack smoked the glass. I could have sworn they did... you could barly see through the thing!

Last time I took Amtrac was in 2000, from Eugene Oregon to Chicago and return. Smoking on that one was in the bar car, then only during certain hours. People would smoke also in the loading bays, near the restrooms. Biggest complaint was going from Seattle to Chicago. They ran out of food and everything else. Instead of ordering what I wanted, my question was "What's left?" Coming, back was much beter. I think coastal runs of Amtrac are far better than the coast to coast routes. But, they're almost certain to go bankrupt.

im a smoker. and i enjoy doing it. however, i am not a person who feels like i can smoke anytime, anywhere. i have on multiple occasions put a cig out in a resteraunt because the person at the table next to me asked me to. i dont have a problem doing it. as a matter of fact, i hate the smell of smoke when im eating too. i dont "jones" so bad for a smoke that i cant wait 30 minutes till im out of the resteraunt.

It has worked great to ban it here in California. I love being able to go to restaurants and bars and not get all smoky-stinky.

As far as all this "free market would take care of it" nonsense, I don't buy that for a second. The free market certainly didn't take care of it before the ban. It only takes one smoker to ruin a room for everyone else. It's the only legal product that when properly used causes death. Kill yourself somewhere where the rest of us don't have to suffer too.

Ehhhm - not quite. The English and Welsh have decided to follow the lead of the Scots (once again ! You there, south of the border - Catch Up! ) and ban smoking in all public places.

In Scotland the ban came into force on Sunday and all bars, restaurants and other public places are now non-smoking.

So far, there hasn't been that much of a fuss caused by smokers.

I wish they would!

I also wish they'd bann it from entrances to public places. I have to battle through a cloud of foul smelling, cancer inducing ransid smoke every time I go into the local supermarket. Horrible, I have to hold my breath for 10 yards.
