The whining will eventually stop. Personally, I am very happy that inside smoking in public places will come to a good end. I am sick and tired of wearing nice clothes when going out, to return home reeking like an ashtray. And don't get me started with restaurants with smoking sections. 100 dollars for a meal, only to sniff nasty smoke. I remember people in New York a couple of years ago went through a period of whining when a similar law was passed. Eventually everyone quited down, and learned to go outside the building to get the fix. Waah… whaah.

But this law is ridiculous, the owner of a bar/restaurant should be able to do whatever he wants in his restaurants, and if clients are not happy about the smoking they just have to go elsewhere, this is going to far. Nice job ad by the way I am a non-smoker, never had a smoke in my life and never will!

One big complaint behind this ban is the overwhelming cost of health care due to cigarette-induced diseases -- if they've been recruting moles for a while and they claim that they can cover most of the territory with agents in the months to come, why not put all those ressources in Health Care instead? Look around the web, there are plenty of smokers/non-smokers who actually believe this initiative is for their benefit, it is such a powerful campaign. What it is in reality (aside from, as I've kept saying for months now, "quebec being very aroused by the subject") is that they expect the ban to cause a decrease in cigarette sales, the "mole operation" is another way to get that money back. Your taxes at work.
