For our friends in all the other countries -- what is the attitude
toward smoking there? Do many people still smoke? Is it banned in
restaurants, public buildings, hotels and such?
Thanks for the info.--I was just curious.

In Finland, smoking is banned in public buildings, public transport and
workplaces. Bars and restaurants have to have smoking and non-smoking
areas, and there are pretty detailed rules on how to arrange the
non-smoking area so that it is truly smoke-free. Parliament is preparing
a complete ban on smoking in bars and restaurants.
