Smoking ban in all pubs and clubs

It's a good thing the men who defeated the greatest menace ever faced by Western civilization – FDR, Churchill and Stalin – lived before the current anti-smoking hysteria. The latter two constantly smoked cigars, and the former chain-smoked cigarettes. They would have fared rather poorly today. On the other hand ...

"I am convinced that if I had been a smoker, I never would have been able to bear the cares and anxieties which have been a burden to me for so long. Perhaps the German people owe its salvation to that fact."
--Adolf Hitler, March 1942

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
