In Columbus, they have almost an identical law...it's AWESOME to go bowling and not stink, or go to a concert and not get burned by cigarettes. It is really cool. Really, its not that you CANT smoke EVER...it means that you may have to get up and walk 20 ft outside to smoke...oh you poor dears, that's so stressful.
In the Republic of Ireland, there is a ban on smoking in pubs/clubs/bars/restaurants. Again, it is great. The United Kingdom (including my current home of Northern Ireland) is to follow soon. Most of the people I know, even smokers, are really looking forward to it.
Honestly, I think there are greater problems in the world to worry about. So you don't get to fog up the room with your smoke, boo hoo. So you have to go outside to smoke, boo hoo. So you have to not smoke around those who don't, boo hoo. There are greater things worth fighting for, aside from your right to give yourself and others cancer.
