France just went up a few points in my estimation

Sure, as long as you’re not inflicting it on people trying to get in and out of the building.
Be aware that smoking has a very strong smell that you may not be entirely aware of since you’re around it all the time, plus you’re (hopefully) not asthmatic. You may be surprised how far away that should be
I usually hit a weed vape which has a much milder smell and less irritants (I make my own carts using live resin and pyur thinner, which is about the cleanest Liquidizer you can get.)
That being said I usually park my car across the lot from the building, and blow it out the window.

I love how everyone supporting this just assumes you'll still be able to smoke at your own home when it doesn't saying anything of the sort. It explicitly states 'where children COULD be present'. This is literally everywhere short of some BDSM dungeon. This is basically going to make the population choose between smoking and having kids.

Hell I'd start smoking again.

Whether its actually enforced or not will be the question. I went to Disneyland Paris 7 years ago, there were signs everywhere saying smoke only in designated areas but there were people smoking all over and none of the staff seemed to care.

I gave mine nicotine patch from age 5.

They're also making the population choose between drinking and driving.

GOOD point. They shouldn't ban cigarettes until everything else bad is also banned.
They shouldn't ban cigarettes.
They should ban phillip morris and co who manifacture even more harmful tabacco to turn everybody into an addict.

You could say smoking is one of the most human activities ever. Does nothing but actively harm and potentially kill everything around you. Just what we're the best at.
But seriously now. Can we speed up smoking bans? Like, everywhere?
Yeah prohibition is famous for working very well and not have any side effect.

Some European countries, including mine, has decided to raise the smoking age by 1 every year, essentially banning the next generation from smoking. Not really rapid or speeding up, but future is looking good
There was a slight problem where some people were allowed to smoke for portion of the year after birthday and before the age increase, for every year
Anything but prevent phillip morris from selling their shit huh?

LOL like here in Montreal I see people smoking right next to the "No smoking within 3 meters" or whatever sign.

I like these laws but also I want to smoke in some places. I'd love a return of places like cigar lounges and whisky bars

There's always one. Always fucking one.

No they're not. Do they outlaw drinking everywhere children might one day walk through.

Mind your ankles. The slopes around here are slippery.

Which actually sounds fair. Kids do not choose to be born and do not need to inhale smoke because parents are addicted to smoking
Giving people the expectation of clean air and fresh water is far too liberal of a concept these days.

all the more reason. what's the point of banning something if no one's doing it
-
To protect children, meanwhile the soil is filled with cancer-inducing products pumped away illegally by big chemistry plants. In belgium and netherlands we can barely eat our own produce thanks to this. When are we gonna ban them??
yeah also ban those... how does all that affect this exactly?

What country is it? I always wanted this for mine.

There’s one section of benches on my town common that smells like cigarettes from all the way over on the sidewalk. Even if it’s empty. There are so many smokers that the stink won’t go away even though it’s outside. Why do they get to ruin that section of park for everyone else?
We have this one park with a small beach section. They try to rope off a s,all smoking section away from everyone else, but you can still smell it. Why do they get to ruin the public beach for everyone else?
Sometimes other people do things we dislike, c'est la vie.
