Smoking in France a thing of the past?

[Not Afraid]

I hate inside smoking. I always have. Outside smoking doesn't bother me one bit.

I do not care for smoking, a lifelong non-smoker, the only one in my family.
Inside, horrible. Outside, since I am a non-smoker, it matters not, the wind will change in whatever direction I stand or sit so I will always get smoke in the face. It must be some form of wacky universal punishment for me, but it always happens.

For the record, I do not think smoking is a culteral thing to be solely identified as being a French trait. I am surprised that the bans are happening outside the US, however. Duh, there are non-smokers, even in France and Italy. ;-)
