Germany to ban smoking in public places planned in 2007
Jul 22 12:38 PM US/Eastern
Email this story
German government minister Horst Seehofer has announced that a ban on smoking in all public places in Germany would likely come into force in 2007.
"I am reckoning on a smoking ban during 2007," Seehofer, minister of consumer protection, told the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel Saturday.

The ban is "reasonable and necessary" because it is not acceptable that you can freely smoke in homes for the eldery, hospitals and administrative buildings, the conservative minister stressed. The government would draw up a law after the summer break, he added, bringing Germany in line with a European resolution voted in 1989 that seeks to limit the negative health impacts of tobacco.

Wow, I wish we would do this too, I hate the smell of smoke. When I walk by someone smoking, I make sure to cough really loudly right as I pass them so they know I hate it

It's not that we're less smart, Doc. It's that we're less Socialist.

In Pakistan they will throw your ass in jail for drinking an alcoholic beverage. Wanna we should be that smart, too?

I don't mind loud rap music, but public farting and fat ppl bug me too. Especially when 300+ pound people take their shirts off at beaches and stuff. That should be forbidden.

clinical depression, mental anguish, and insanity can be just as deadly.
More to the point, do you think car exhaust should be outlawed?

Sticking to the fact...smoking should be banned. The needs of the many (the public who don't want to get cancer from some selfish bastard) outwiegh the needs of the few (the selfish bastard who thinks the rest of us want to smell his or her ass flavored smoke).
