Should smoking be banned in public places?

Christophe Cedat, owner of the Cafe 203 put up protest art showing overflowing ashtrays and cigarette butts as he refused to apply a new smoking ban targeting restaurants and bars in Lyon, France on January 8, 2008. Smokers who light up in cafes face fines of between 68 euros (100 dollars) to 450 euros while business owners can incur penalties of up to 750 euros for violations.
