| Norwegians ban smoking in public |
| 2004-06-01 |
| Crazy Vikings! Norway has become the second country in the world to introduce a nationwide ban on smoking in public places. The Norwegian government says the ban is needed to protect people who work in bars and restaurants from the effects of second-hand smoke. Opinion polls suggest a majority of Norwegians support the change, which permits smoking outdoors. Ireland became the first country to introduce a nationwide ban in March, and has hailed the move as a success. |

| #4 I'll be glad when such a ban happens here in the states. Its disgusting having to put up with the nuisance of cigarette smoke in restaurants simply because the ADDICTS can't even go 45 minutes without a FIX . |
