The world's first ban on smoking in public places was introduced by who? Nazi Germany in 1941.

Interestingly, Hilter, Franco and Mussolini were all non-smokers (with Hitler the most rabid of them), while FDR and Churchill both liked a puff

That`s very interesting news. Thanks for sharing it with us!

It's like for example putting some amount of Cl disinfecting agent to tap water.

Maybe I am dense, but I don't see how it relates to mine proposition? You know: if bars, pubs and such were obliged to put out a visible signs like: "Smokers come here" or "Smoking forbiden", everyone would be free to choose what establishment to visit. Are you worried about smoker's health or what?

democracy. I'm not judging if it's good or bad (totally different topic) but here it works as usual: the majority dictates the minority...

Fair enough. Can we ban homosexuality now? I mean, they are a minoroty and are harmull to propagation of a human spieces, so can the stright majority ban that harmfull behaviour? Disinfecting agent anyone?

Hitler's idea was also t ohave Volkswagen. And Henkel aircrafts used to bomb cities. Now Henkel produces detergents. But you say to ban it all right? Ok...

Interestingly, Hilter, Franco and Mussolini were all non-smokers (with Hitler the most rabid of them), while FDR and Churchill both liked a puff.

So we must start smoking to be on the good side, if I follow???

Are you worried about smoker's health or what?

Everyones' - to some extent, but it is smokers' choice to smoke. But the smoke affects otehers, like non-smokers and this is where I support the ban.

Can we ban homosexuality now?

Are their actions harmful to others? If so - then yes, let's ban it. But for any illegal action a homosexual can face penalty, just as heterosexual or bisexual - doesn't matter.

In what a way, to be exact? At "for smokers only" pubs, I mean.

There are no such pubs only for smokers, unless you mean a crack house.

Well, maybe there is a smoking ban in Poland, but people still smoke in bars. It takes long time?

No sheet? Really? My point is: there should be such. Much better solution then our today's facist ban. Somkers's pubs and non-smokers's pubs. If you go into one, you know what to expect.

Olaf: if you can suggest an alternative that would work similarly but also allowed non-smoking majority of society to frequent bars

So I have stated my alternative. Every one should choose what bar he wants to visit. What's wrong with that? Are you afraid that people will not know what is good for them? That their choices will be a wrong ones? So you have to do it for them? I, for one, prefere to do my own choices and then face the consequences. It may be not the most wise choice, but my own.

Sure, smoking is a minor matter. But then, you have freedom, or you don't have it. One day, you may say ;-)
First they came for the smokers and I did not speak up because I was not a smoker. (...) And when they have came for me, there was no one left to speak up.

Yeah, and crack houses, so that you know what to expect when you enter.

I just heard of a place in Denmark (I think it was Denmark) where they opened a sort of brothel with... animals. A client can come and pick a sheep or a chicken (?!) or a dog...

What's wrong with that?

I just don't follow that;)

Here we agree.
