    In NS, weve had a similiar bylaw for several years. Businesses will gradually adapt ; they come up with other means of keeping their clientele. I personally enjoy going into a bar and not smelling like smoke within 5 mins! I do however, come from a family of smokers so I respect smokers as well and do not condemn them for that.

    I'm in South Africa and it's against the law in this country to smoke in public places. I like that. And i believe that there are measures to stop adults from smoking if they have young children.

    So now there are special sealed off areas in restuarants and things where people can smoke. In that way-only smokers will be affected by others' smoke.

    Im not sure what your law will say/direct, but i think it's great that public health is being taken so serioulsy. I enjoy the fact that people are allowed their freedom's but they are directed to exercise them in ways that do not trample others or imapir those around them.

    If your laws are along the same lines as those currently in SA then i think it's great and would welcome it.
