O-M-G... A public smoking ban in ARGENTINA...!

ok, it's not bush, it's not katrina and it's not my customary rant, but, damn...!! who would have THUNK it...?

[T]he consensus reached over new anti-smoking legislation shows every sign of acquiring the force of law this week. This legislation will not only ban smoking in all public spaces but in the more public of private spaces as well, such as bars, cafés, shopping centres, etc.

folks, this is historic... i didn't think it would happen in ireland but it did... i sure as hell didn't think it would happen in latin america... who knows...? maybe the balkans or s.e. asia are next...
