On topic again, and I agree, having heard this many times in the past couple of years, from smokers and non-smokers.
No one doubts the health hazards of smoking - the evidence being stronger for active rather than passive smoking - but it is an addiction, it can't be totally banned, and tackling the problem should be realistic.
My local hospital banned smoking in the grounds, so now smokers jump in their cars, drive to the entrance, park, smoke, discard their cigarettes and drive back to work / visiting patients
