Re: German court rules smoking ban unconstitutional

Not to be a downer, but doesn't the court's ruling demonstrate that they would be in favor of a complete ban?

Re: German court rules smoking ban unconstitutional

From what I read, yes, they would uphold a total ban on smoking but not a partial one that discriminates.

Indeed, this ruling was a pyrrhic victory, and a complete ban is likely to follow.

I hope that this news spreads around the world and other adopt the ruling. What it would be like in a perfect world...
