No smoking

At the beginning of this year, more or less around the time I came back to Taiwan, the new anti-smoking law came into effect forbidding smoking in public places like bars, restaurants, universities, etc. I am not sure if it still keeps smoking and non-smoking separations, but I am beginning to doubt it, because I have seen in at least two campuses that it is not allowed to smoke anywhere on campus apart from some special places dedicated for that.


It was unavoidable, I think. Some may think it is a little extreme, —I do not, anymore—, but it looks like the only solution. Of course, as it happens in other places with an ancient culture, as somebody told me here, one thing is the law and another to apply it.


They could also begin to look at cars now.
