A round with the smoking ban As an example of the intolerant, informers, Taliban fanatics who are nonsmokers, yesterday decided to open a nice big boy's head of a bottle to the owner of a local
that ordered him to extinguish his cigarette ... then people say that is not defended with energy when you trample on their "rights." Then we say that the mayor of Valladolid, a celebrated champion of equality and individual rights of the person ("Those Lips, mmm ....") Warned us not drift dyes
fascists who are taking events.
Anyway. Anyway, I finally have a law that protects us to be most swayed by the custom of a few. It would take some in other areas, it is true, but that does not make the law less necessary. The
"Custom" referred, incidentally, is something worse than "annoying" as confirmed by numerous medical studies for decades, is also clearly harmful to health that is (which in principle is only up to it) and also to those around, which justifies intervention on the authorities to regulate their use.
course, an important shift in the status of one or the other at the time to enjoy a public space (closed) have to cause resistance and ranting of those who feel losers. What this team needs to understand is that the English situation was clearly anomalous among the surrounding countries, and that there is no persecution complex in which you want to enjoy their leisure time with friends without damage to their health so free.
So far, incidentally, have been persecuted non-smokers, we had shown a general tolerance and ability to hold close to infinity: in general, and to avoid trouble and discussions, we have avoided smoking berate even against all logic, such as smoking, hospital compounds, or subway, or taxi, or in front of children. We endured the smoke of friends and go with them to smoke-filled rooms, a situation which further demonstrates why the former law (different spaces) failed, as it explains José Luis Ferreira
this entry . In the cases where they have reprimanded those attitudes, we have been branded as bigots, fanatics and provocateurs and ordered to be us that we leave the room, with bravado and cocky attitude.
The Hispanic smokers widespread nerve reaches the point of taking their own right as the dumping of cigarette butts on the ground, no matter if the floor is a bar, the street, a playground or the stairs or elevator in the community neighbors. Madrid is common picture to see a driver to open the door at a stoplight or in the middle of the jam and empty the ashtray in the road. Disgusting to see the state where the beach is Las Negras, Almería, after a horde of Appreciation, otherwise surely pointed to the most varied environmental causes, have spent the evening enjoying a "wild beach" of their inalienable rights of smokers ... Throughout
it is justified that the authorities encourage citizens that they themselves, see their rights trampled, to denounce the breaches of the law. Those who have unleashed all the demagoguery that "the State encourages informers" are in the same position (in fact, often the same) than those who were offended that Spain had declared a state of alert in the airspace over the conflict with the drivers: the anecdotal talk much to forget the basics.
The reality is that the authorities simply are reminding citizens have the right to complain when the law is on their side, as when we sell something wrong and call the book claims.
Incidentally, those who argue that tourism and hospitality industry will be affected by the measure, they forget that this statement does not hold in view of the surrounding countries, and even Italy, whose citizens often are stigmatized (especially as you go south) of unruly and quarrelsome years ago that respects the rule without further problems.
These initial stresses, which in a few cases are drifting into fights, I think it is anecdotal and it will soon. Although the economic and personal situation of many citizens is provided at the moment, in my opinion, the anger and protest, and this may invite disobedience, I am confident that in a few weeks all this controversy will be forgotten and Spain will As a country a little more civilized.
