NATO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as always.

As always, there are two sides of the coin. If you really want to encourage people to smoke in designated areas, make them at least half decent.I always try to smoke in these areas, but they are often disgusting, hot, no airflow, no ashtrays (it's a smoking area right?), hard to find (no signs), wet when raining and too far away. Whilst it is laudable to protect the health of non-smokers, give dignity to smokers, they are not criminals.

I whole-heartedly welcome this policy.

One of my colleagues, he's foreigner, he went to Jakarta for business trip, and after he came back he complained how awful it was when entering the office's building. "The carpet even smells like smokes, I felt like walking into a nest of diseases." as I may quote (true story)

I know it will be difficult to apply this policy, because I believe millions of people will against it. I know how strong cigarettes can make people so dependable to smoking habit.

But please smoke wisely. Smoke in smoking area, and stay away from public area, avoid indoor smoking...that is like keeping a cat & the litter box inside a high-rise apartment.

There was one case last year, abt a girl who died of lung cancer because of second-hand smoking

We don't want it to be repeated, do we?

Good move. Smoking in public is harmful to others and should be totally banned. I'm sure as hell I couldn't sit in a restaurant spraying fly spray about at random mosquitos. Cigarette smoke is just as toxic, and all you smokers who spew out tar and chemicals and sit there saying it's an infringement on your rights are welcome to poison other consenting members of the public. But if one more person blows smoke my way while I'm pregnant and my son is asthmatic, I will probably use the fire extiguisher on them. It's just revolting and the height of selfishness.
