One certainly can't help wondering what effect it would have on the smoking population. A nurse I once worked with was a jibbering wreck after every prolonged clinic session until she could get to the smoking room and have a few puffs to calm herself down. What a state to get yourself into . I would really hate to live my life just dying to get from one ciggie to the next. That really is an addiction when it gets to that stage. I'm sooooo glad I didn't go down that road, especially having had a mother die from the effects of smoking.

Whereas I would hesitate to deny all smokers their 'fix', I could go on at length about why I, personally, would welcome the ban. I just don't know how the government would go about implementing it, as it's so widespread and the so-called 'right to smoke' is fiercely protected by all smokers.
