Grin.... try Greece. Norway just passed the worlds strictest anti smoking law
recently. Total ban on all public smoking. Goes into effect next year tho it
remains to see just how they will enforce it with the 3 police officers we
have in this country :)

Really tho... Smoking rate in Europe is about 30 % as well, tho the news about
those tobacco companies didnt really get much air time over here. As far as
public smoking goes.... it gets worse the farther south you go both here and
in Europe.... with the exception of California that is :)
