I get what you're saying. All I'm saying is that in reality most smokers don't behave the way you do. I've been surrounded by smokers my entire life. Hell my parents smoked so much they almost killed me (according to the doctor). I think stricter rules would be better.

Ok than, sorry for my overreaction. I think I got a bit carried away with my post. And yes I do agree. Stricter rules and regulations are a good way to handle the sittuation on a global scale, and there are most deffinatly places where smoking should be considered a criminal offense and fines should be handed, no doubt. Especially when children are involved. Even tough we have an age restriction for smoking unfortunatly few shops actually enforce it :-|

No worries. I know from your posting history that you're a level headed person, so it didn't bother me at all.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that, from my limited experience in the UK, the rules there work quite well. With designated areas for smoking outside airports, unable to smoke inside a flat because of all the mandatory smoke detectors, etc. That's a step towards the right direction. I'm sure it's far from perfect in reality, but it's 10x different what I've experienced in countries like Greece.
