Different smoking cultures

Ahh, I do appreciate California smoking laws.  I think there must be a lot more smokers in the UK and Germany, which contributes to the problem.  While the indoors of restaurants are all non-smoking, bars are not, and the entire outdoors is a smoking area.  That means that the smokers congregate at the exits of everything (university buildings, hotels, restaurants) and also on the outdoor patio of every restaurant at least half the patrons are smoking.  I suppose in another 10 years, it will be the kind of restrictions I expect (10 years ago, there were no smoking rules for restaurants, but they were widely ignored.  I have to admit to progress.)
