no smoking

I'm a non-smoker, so my world is changing today.

Like the world is changing for the smoker.

Today it's forbidden to smoke in restaurants, cafés and other public places.

I'm very happy about that, because it opens a whole new way of living.

I haven't been able to go to dinner in a restaurant, have lunch somewhere or spend an evening with friends in a café without taking medication and wheezing the night after.
People who smoke don't understand what it means to deal with it, and even though some of them protest and tell us their freedom is at stake, it has nothing to do with their freedom.

Just with their addiction to nicotine.

They can freely enter a restaurant and enjoy a meal, as long as they won't smoke.
We were never able to enjoy a meal without smoking, because their smoke was everywhere, influencing the health of other people.

I'm SO happy, I can finally just walk in a restaurant and sit down...

as long as they don't have those plug-in air deodorants and other artificial smells.

Life isn't always as easy as it looks.
