I just wanted to be able to go out and have dinner somewhere without feeling sick. They couldn't help but said they were lobbying. I ended up on a stall and things went from there. It was pretty hectic in the 80's. There is still lots of work to be done but we have pretty good legislation compared to most places.
Most public places are non-smoking inside, eg banks, shops.
All the tourist sites are smoke-free inside. My four-year old had the good fortune to be born when the public places legislation came in. She has rarely been in a smoking environment and is shocked when I tell her what it was like just a year before she was born. A great place to come for a holiday. We have a lot of festivals where officially smoking is banned indoors.
