Irish Shock

Ireland bans smoking in workplaces from today. :o)

Although I am a smoker, I agree to make such bills.
In also Japan, some local governments began to ban smoking on the street
such as Akihabara or so.
But I was shocked when I heard that the workplaces above include pubs.
I heard also that Irish people really love smoking not only cigarettes
but also pipes especially at pubs, I'm afraid that there might be a log
of outbreaks of anger of tobacco lovers. :o)

Meanwhile, today a coleague of mine from Spain told me that Spanish young
people like weeds. :o) According to his story, in Europe the more southern
we go the more smokers we will see. I'm wondering why southern European
people like smoking.
