There's a smoking ban in France that kicked in January 1st, 2008.   Can you believe it? I don't think I can quite grasp the enormity of it. France and smoking go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Seriously, what's a French movie, without someone puffing away on a Gaulois...
  1. Seriously?

    I can't believe it! Now, let's get some more of that mojo at work in Orlando! I was coughing my lungs out at a mall one day, and there was a man there smoking. He saw me look for my inhaler, and he blew a puff of smoke in my face! Dude. Decency?

    Florida

    • 1 July 2003 banned in all workplaces, except private homes, tobacco shops, designated rooms at motels and hotels, and stand alone bars with no more than 10% of revenue from food sales.

    Could be. Sure, people work there, but you see people smoking outside there all the time. Hmmm...
