The French smoking ban

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

"Those who enjoy cigarettes after a meal or after making love can still do so. It's just that you won't necessarily be able to do so in a restaurant or cafe any more," he tells me, as he looks wistfully at his packet of cigarettes.

You see, that's why our French cousins always seem so sophisticated to Albion's eyes - they think nothing of having sex in cafes... :lol:

I wonder if the French have a version of The Sun saying something like "It's a European plot to stop something typically French!! If we don't watch out they'll make it illegal for the Gare Du Nord and Paris Metro to smell of p*ss."

Seriously though, why do the governments of Europe feel it necessary to get involved? I was perfectly capable of choosing between a restaurant that was non-smoking over a smoking one beforehand, and the staff of these places likewise. :roll:

so it's not ok to smoke in the street but it's alright to test nukes in the south pacific when everyone knows the french start wars by surrendering to the germans anyway.

We've had a smoking ban for quite a few years now.

the major downside is that you suddenly realise how much everyone farts in the pub. :evil:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Parisians now have one fewer distraction; they can concentrate more on avoiding dog s**t on the sidewalk.

Could be worse, there's a school here in Belgium where smokers have to wear a cancerous-lungs badge :eek: :urff:
