Sacré Bleu...French non-smoking legislation!

I see even the French are now considering non-smoking legislation although there is lots of opposition and the usual bleats that it will ruin business for cafés and restaurants. I'm surprised countries continue to believe the ruination of business as it hasn't happened anywhere else in the world and the French are the least likely candidates to boycott the cafés and restaurants...way too important for the "joie de vivre". But I expect there will be a big fight over it all...even Chirac's official website has a photo of him with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
