It's funny you'd say this because the law allows for this in Portugal in certain businesses (bars, discos, restaurants). As long as the space has a certain area and there is an extraction system, people can smoke in the place.

Apparently this happens in Spain too, because that's where I am right now and the other day I went out for dinner and we sat in this room with an extraction system.

I must say that the smokers didn't bother me and the air was quite fresh smelling. I'm not sure if this is just masking the problem though. I did think it was a friendly solution anyway.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
