Total ban would have been better

HOW sad that the smoking ban has been delayed. One can only wonder how many injuries and lives could have been saved by implementing the ban as scheduled.

Even more pathetic is the fact that any exemptions have been granted for lethal tobacco smoke. Allowing smoking in hospitals and nursing homes is positively insane and unconscionable. Smoking should be prohibited in all public places and workplaces.

Allow exceptions only in the places you would also allow assault, battery, rape and murder.
