Welllll, here in Yellowknife, Cigarettes are 12.50-13.00 bucks a pack. And I can't smoke within 10 feet of any public place, at all. That really sucks when I go to the bar in the winter, but what can you do.
Smokes aren't a social taboo, but they definetaly are not the social norm. Yellowknife has a much much higher per capita average of smokers tho.
Down in Penticton, I could get a lecture on the street from a stranger for lighting up :/
Course, I may be the only one that feels this way, but I know smoking is bad for me, and bad for anyone around me at that time. I don't smoke around others. I have the right to kill myself, I do not have the right to include others with me. I'm trying to quit anyways, the last thing I want is my daughters following in MY footsteps.
