You have to give the guy some credit for being willing to make his own life a bit more inconvenient. Unless he was doing it for political gain, in which case, just vote the little sod out.

Yeah I appreciate his effort, course he was still ridiculed for it.

:down: People can be pretty dumb at times. If he'd tried to make said room exempt from some anti-smoking legislation, then he'd deserve everything he got, but, ah, I give up on the masses.

We all do, John. I remember there was a study in norway that concluded smokers do less work that non-smokers cause of the breaks they take. The smokers said it was because they are made to step outside and if they could smoke in the office it could be evened out

from what i know they generally tend to be around their own people- its rather serious in england i heard where many people cant even speak english.

And England is one of the better nations when it comes to that. In Holland for example, immigrants don't see the point of learning the language because it's not a major (global) language.

You have to remember that Erik comes from a very liberal society, and to him, this is an infringement on personal freedom - something that means a lot to the Dutch.

Hmm ... I'm not sure I like being analysed

Erik will tell you that it's their right. I'll tell you it's my right not to have to pay for their medical care.

Where do you think the HUGE amount of tax money on cigarettes go to? That's enough to cover the health issues resulting from smoking and build a second Chunnel ffs.

You might be confusing it with cigar smoke - that's nasty stuff, possibly as bad or worse for the passive smoker than the owner, since he doesn't inhale directly.

Actually, the cigar smoker in hales much of the smoke, even if he smokes the cigar properly, only binging the smoke into his mouth. Upon exhaling, the smoke billows about the person and the next breath is full of smoke. It's a lot less dangerous to your health than cigarette smoke inhaled the same way, but only because there are less additives and toxins in cigar smoke.

That's what I was thinking too, since cigar smokers need only "bum-puff" to get the same effect as cigarette smokers do when they fully inhale

In Bali 92% of their adverts would be on smoking, and the government's warning of its health risks would appear 2 seconds tops

As a matter of fact, when you get off the plane, you'll see a big Marlboro sign, instead of "Welcome to Jakarta", or something.....
