Apologies to any English activists who might have read my piece entitled "French Smoking Ban II".
I unreservedly apologise, having read this.
À bientôt

French Anti-Smoking Law II (et pour les Français)
I have no knowledge of how the English are coping with this sort of nanny-state legislation. Here in France there appears to be some grass roots resentment and like Ireland where 35000 have lost their jobs since the ban - with one pub closing every week - already café and bar owners are reporting loss of business.
The "antis" told us that following the ban, these places would be full of families and non-smokers enjoying at last wonderful café life. It seems that this is not the case.
I have been directed to a wonderful French blog "Ma clope ma bataille" (literally "my fag, my battle").
There is now of course a link here.
Next up, the promised piece about fuelling... this time not with tobacco!
