I know I'll catch flak for this, but the sooner this ban goes into effect the better.
Cheers

I think you'll be surprised/happy to learn that more people support it then you think.
They're just not as outspoken as the smokers as they're not "losing" anything.

I also support the ban since I'm allergic to cig smoke and my sinuses get congested, stinging eyes, sneezing etc when the ventilation is shit. Will definetely go out more if it ever includes bars.

This is one of those things we're going to look back at 20 years from now and laugh and say, "I can't believe we used to do that" - kind of like when we look back and say "Women used to smoke when they were pregnant all the time" - it's completely abusrd to think that that was alright. This will be the same.

I think the majority of the board agrees with you. I can't wait for this ban to start.

If you didn't die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS/ Cot-Death) then yeah, you will probably be fine:
"There is an extensive literature showing that fetal nicotine exposure, due to maternal smoking, alters embryonic brain development and results in a variety of pathological effects in the neonate that fall under the heading of the fetal nicotine syndrome. These include a fourfold increased incidence of SIDS, ten's of thousands of cases of tobacco induced abortions, premature deliveries, low birth weight and an increased incidence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Although the mechanisms involved are not well understood, they are thought to be mediated in part by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the fetal brain. "

I'm sure my mom, who was 5'1" 95 lbs before getting pregnant with me, was just smoking in an attempt to keep my birthweight low.
