I agree with that 100%. I wish that law was in effect in the US when I was a child back in the '80s.
Yeah, those laws are way overdue. I still remember being a little kid and feeling so awful while I was bowling in league because so many of the parents smoked. There was just a constant hazy cloud of cigarette smoke, it made me feel itchy, and I could still smell it when I got home.
Smokers can really be an inconsiderate bunch.
I fully agree with this. My Grandfather who was once of the few people in the world with 15/20 vision meaning he could literally see things and in higher definition and clarity than we ever could went blind 5 years ago largely from conditions caused by secondhand smoking from my late Grandma. I can't be too harsh on her, she was a mostly very good person when she was alive, but for someone to lose their sight over something that happened years ago is just ridiculous. She smoked in front of me and my sisters a lot as well, we never liked it.
