Surely, it'd make sense to provide comfortable [separate] indoor Areas in bars and/or eateries for folk wishing to indulge their habit.
I was beginning to think that I was the only outcast in this thread, just because the mayor does'nt smoke this stupid law imerges,even the president smokes so where will he gofor a quick drag if he ever comes to Davao. I was down town today for our weekly supplies trip, did I see any designated smoking area's? No. Did I see people smoking down side streets and back alleys? Yes. Lets be fair over this,give us smokers some leaway, even out door smoking area would be fine by me even if it's raining. I've been smoking for 55 years and not about to give up now.I used to enjoy our weekly down town jaunt, get supplies, have a meal, have a fag whenever, now it's a rush to get back home tothe safety ofmy own house again.
