No Smoking Culture

I like it. no cigarette advertising. Europe has, when it comes to smoking, become like a third world country. even the working people hardly smoke, like on construction sites i see few smoking. i walked by at lunch break at a construction site on Market Street, with many construction workers sitting side by side on the sidewalk leaning their backs on the wall, none of them smoked. so it's not like in england, where a minister defied the pleasure of the poor and one of their few pleasures and let them have their smoke, not to ban smoking in public places. California is proof with good information and regulated policies, you can reduce smoking. I'm open for social concerns, but when it comes to non smoking politics, only the right wing politicians look to that.
