Smoking is one of the worst habits ever... self-gratifying, selfish, self-desctructive.... it's got it all. It's a dirty disgusting habit that not only promotes cardio-vascular disease in the addict but it also affects others around the smoker via second-hand smoke. Sadder yet is to see pregnant women smoking, men smoking near a pregnant woman, and my all-time favorite thing..... a family on welfare, kids need food, and yet the parents always seem to have enough cigarettes no matter how expensive a carton gets. Don't complain about not being able to feed your kids until you stop dropping $50 a fucking carton of smokes every week.
No ventilation system made can sufficiently remove the danger from smoke for those that don't want to breath in the poison from *your* cancer stick. Personally I welcome the "California-like" smoking bans and wonder why they've taken so long to spread. Bring it on.
Here in Manitoba there has been a smoking ban in restaurants for over a year now, and a complete ban in public places is set to commence soon. It's about fucking time. Kissing someone who smokes really is like licking a dirty ashtray.

You have the option of not kissing smokers.
If I build a restaurant and want it to be smoking, I should be able to. I should be able to put a big sign out front that says "SMOKING ALLOWED". Everyone who doesn't smoke then has the option of finding another place to eat.
But I do agree with the rest of your post. Smoking is a disgusting habit and seeing pregnant women smoke, guys smoking around pregnant women and the welfare family blowing $200 to $300/month on cigs is pathetic.
