I wonder HOW or WHERE the Government think they are going to get back the HUGE amount of money they make every year on Tobacco Taxes, they make more than the average shopkeeper thats for sure

Now even in Turkey people will be standing around outside having a ciggie, or buying it from the Supermarkets and drinking it at home

This is great news, the sooner it comes into effect in NC the better, however enforcing it is another matter, there is nothing worse than sitting in a resteraunt with friends and or family having a meal and having lots of people arround you smoking it ruins the meal. People who smoke should be more consifderate and take it outside, or even better not smoke at all.

As a smoker I wouldn't dream of lighting up inside where people are eating, thats why I go to Restaurants who have a seating area outside for us lepers

I beleive you can smoke still in most cypriot turkish owned restaurants. All those I have been in have not imposed a ban. We have imposed it inside ours as directed by the smoking police xx

I didnt ask about smoking as the friends that went there dont smoke, but I,m sure as before they had a sitting area for smoking, but will find out for you.
