I can *understand* the anti-smoking law. That's about it. In Israel they now look to follow UK and SE examples (what examples?!?!) to ban pubs after 2 AM, to prevent drunk driving.
I can understand the anti-smoking law *within* the pub. I don't understand a law which prohibits smoking within 25 feet of *any* building (including pubs). For those smokers who were in Seattle for the recent OWASP event, you know what I'm talking about. -- !Dmitry http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/dmitryc/
