There has been a very interesting ban put on in London. There is no more smoking in any public places (this is extreme for London, everywhere was smokey). It has been interesting to watch the reactions. Somebody at a Pub last night started going crazy saying that next they were going to ban Jews, Blacks (not the term used, edited for the viewers), and Arabs. He said the smoking ban was infringing on his rights, and that it was "Puritanical" and "Fascist". Interesting points that he made. Also, it is extremely interesting that he would make these comments. The out lash in Arizona didn't seem to be as harsh.
The fines are only £50 if caught, which doesn't seem to be that harsh on London standards. Interesting to travel back here and comment on the change 1 month, 1 year, or 5+ years from now!
About Me
- Kalen
- My own perceptions of myself are every changing. I graduated in 2007 from Arizona State University with an Interdisciplinary studies degree, and truly believe this is the best explanation of myself. I like to know everything about everything. My 101 in 1001 project should show this. I try to live my life with passion, and tend to become very passionate about whatever I am doing until I reach a level of mastery and move on. I love my friends, they are the greatest in the world. I love meeting new people and learning about new and different things and ideas. Travel is a passion, and I want to see every part of the world possible.

This must be big for them. Was it voted in? (Phoenix's was) Has it been a gradual thing in different sections of town or just a WHAM! your butts (cigarette) are stamped out? Some Phoenix people put up a fuss about it and they are testing the limits of the new rule.
