I would think that after the first few successful lawsuits that the rest would
get the idea. In any case, its kind of a horrendous task to watch your loved
ones die prematurely. Especially the ones that never smoked.
The laws we have against outdoor smoking in places such as train stations or
other crowded areas are mostly local ordinances. They aren't universal and they
don't work perfectly, but they do help.
I'm amazed at how well the anti-tobacco campaign has worked and very grateful to
those who have provided us with a marked improvement in our quality of life.
Its the way other drugs should be dealt with (more or less).
