The future for smokers
Some twenty years back, people would have laughed when told that one day smoking in public buildings would be prohibited. Ten years ago, you might have smiled at the idea of implementing such a ban in restaurants, and even in bars. Now in 2006 you will find signs in Japan allowing smoking outside in designated areas only. Just watch the public smokers carefully, they might be gone soon.

interesting that the sign is in English. Is it really Japan or is it already Bush's world?
The World Health Organization recently made being a nonsmoker a condition of employment (apparently to show its dedication to the fight against tobacco). Considering the number of fatties on the WHO staff I thought that was taking things a bit far.
I would also like to vote this Bush guy out of white house. He changed the entire world for the worse and the world is excluded in voting for or against him.
