Smoking is banned in all public buildings here in Nova Scotia...and you are not allowed to smoke in your car if there is a child with you...it's a law.

You also must be a certain distance away from a public building entrance if you plan on smoking outside.

There was a dip in club attendance at first, but it went back up to about the same a few months after the ban...people still like to drink and party.

I remember when the restaurant I worked in had a "no smoking" section...kind like having a "no peeing" section in a swimming pool.
