People don't need to be so ignorant as to think they have the right to choose which laws they abide and which ones to ignore! If the law says this is a non smoking establishment then it should start with the owners, managers, employees, the law is there for a purpose weather we like it or not!

No smoke but plenty of fire as Lebanon becomes incendiary

So rediculas, lebanon is a smokers paradise. Instead of rasing awareness or making places to smoke indoors and etc they just baned it completely indoors. Smokers have the right to smoke where they please, the country is full of smokers and I can't see lebanon without it, it's so dumb, fix the electricity and water services and stop the kidnappings and control the illegal weapons. I hope to see lebanon light up where they please, speak up lebanon you have every right!
