Au Revoir, Fumeurs

As of today, Jan 1, 2008, smoking is officially banned from public spaces all over France, including cafes, restaurants, bars etc. What good news for non-smokers!

Me, as a fanatic non-smoker, I can only jump up and down joy (sorry, smokers!). I can't agree more with the law. Non-smokers, including our kids, have every right too to inhale nice fresh air in public spaces without being polluted by the cigarettes.

Well, at least now when we go to a restaurant, we should not waste our time answering "smoking or no smoking" question. Nor should we worry of sitting in a non-smoking zone, yet still smelling the smoke. Nor should we worry of cigarette smell all over our hair, face, clothes or jackets upon leaving a cafe. Nor should we get mad at a smoker sitting and smoking ignorantly next to your little kids. Nor should we get our eyes red due to the smoke in a bar. Alleluya!

But until then, we should see how this law imposition goes....
