They did... and it caused most people to stop smoking. Building that social stigma was like one of the best health marketing campaigns in history.

I say this as someone who used to and still does smoke time to time.

Many people wouldn't mind other people smoking, as long as it doesn't impact non-smokers. But the thing is, smokers aren't really all that considerate about non-smokers. I attended a couple festivals over the past week. It's really annoying when you stand in packed crowd as a non-smoker and someone starts smoking. Sure, we are outside, but it literally makes breathing harder, especially for asthma patients.

I don't really see a way in which smokers and non-smokers can coexists without the smoker impacting the non-smoker. Even if you only smoke outside of the restaurant/bar, it will still be annoying and unhealthy to people entering the restaurant or bar.

I'm very curious with how things will develop in France, where they banned smoking in area's where children are present, which is virtually everywhere.

I completely agree, ads like this that say " it's bad for you", "you'll hurt the ones you love", "your family will miss you", it's all just anti-suicide pepole thinking they're soo much better than everyone else

blowing ones brains out shouldn't be portrayed as a bad thing, we need change and show we respect and accept suicide!

Also as a child of a heavy smoker, fuuuuuuck people who smoke around others, i don't care if you want to harm yourself, but stay the fuck away from other people while you do it
