Classic example of the left's mental sickness.
To be "liberal" has come to mean being opposed to liberty.
OMG! The horror! The horror!
Ping.
I wasn't planning any trips to Denmark - butt - I now think I'll delete it from my maps also.
Sob, sob, sob!
Booo Friggin Hooo.....
Excuse me, I need another marlboro
Ping-a-ling
Miss Jorgenson, I'll sit in this car with all the windows rolled up tight, I will smoke 2 cartons of Camel nonfilters...
You sit in that car, windows up, with a hose connected to the cars exhaust venting into your car until I finish smoking...
The little smoke nazi would definetly see what real "smoke hazard" is... at least until the hearse shows up...

I'm all for people having rights, just as long as they don't want any that I don't think they should have. /s
If she doesnt like it she should stay the hell home. Other people besides her have rights.
The fact she is unapologetic makes me like her all the more.
HELP IS ON THE WAY.. FOR THE AUTHOR who forgot to include:
Denmark to ban smoking in public places in April 2007
Source: Agence France Presse (AFP) (fr), 2006-03-29
Intro:
Denmark plans to ban smoking in public places as of April 1, 2007.
"The government's goal is very clear: to know that you can walk around without being exposed to cigarette smoke against your will," Health and Interior Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen told reporters on Tuesday.
The government plans to propose the new legislation to parliament in October.
The bill would ban smoking in government ministries, national institutes and agencies and state-run companies, as well as shopping centres, sports arenas, cultural centres and other public spaces.
Bars, cafes and restaurants larger than 100 square metres (1,076 square feet) would also be non-smoking but they would be allowed to set up special smoking sections.
A poll published June 26 in Copenhagen-based Politiken, Denmark's No. 3 newspaper, found that 54 percent of 1,000 people surveyed favored smoke-free workplaces, up from 42 percent six months earlier. Only one in five companies prohibits smoking at work, according to the Danish Association of Managers and Executives.
``The government will have to give in to the pressure and pass a ban on smoking in all public places, possibly within a year,'' said Arne Rolighed, a former health minister in Copenhagen, who now runs the Danish Cancer Society.
A lot of Danish women smoke. In fact, Denmark has the highest lung cancer rate among women in the world.
In a tiny Scandinavian country, Denmark is half the size of Maine with at total population of just over half-million. Each year, over 1300 women die from lung cancer. Another 3700 succumb to smoking related diseases like emphysema and bronchitis. . .
So when did all this smoking begin? Well, you have to go back to the 1950's and that's when Danish women started working outside the home.
Dr. Falk: "The women's emancipation thing came rather early in our country. So you know, maybe it was a way to show that I'm in position that I could deal with my own life. I'm not dependent on my husband's salary."

I'll summarize for those who, like me, struggle to make it through such articles: Given the choice between reasonable tolerance of others and fascism, the author is the passionate defender of the virtues of the latter.
