While I have every expectation that banning smoking is beneficial to public health, it stretches my imagination that it might come so quickly.

Observation #2: In spite of Observation #1, it is good to know that we do not see smokers convulsing on the floor of restaurants, suffering from nicotine withdrawal, and that we do not see wholescale closing of restaurants due to the inability of people to smoke while they eat.
