Whwn I visited North Goa in 2009, I was heartened to note that a ban was
imposed on smoking in public places. Thank Goa, I said "No more will I
choke on 2nd hand smoke in restaurants". Unfortunately, when I visited
Goa recently I realised that no discipline can be imposed in our
favourite state and people are smoking in restaurants to their heart's
content, much to the chagrin of people like me. Are we not entitled to
breathe clean air in this world of ours?
