Here in Denmark, we too, have quite a restrictive smoking ban.
Im a smoker myself, but i dont mind the ban. I know cigarette smokes stinks and is unhealthy, so i cant be bothered to be... bothered.
If you are such heavy smoker that you simply cannot go without cigs during something where you cant smoke, use E-Cigs. They seem to be gaining some popularity here in Denmark.
