Yah it seems, it's almost as bad as imagining the Irish in Dublin drinking but not smoking. Everyone has to adapt though I guess, thankfully it's becoming a non-smoking world.

Interesting article. I especially am intrigued to hear about the coupons for patches idea. Wonder where else that has been tried? Hard to think of the French giving up smoking in public places, but then again, I did not think New Yorkers would adapt to it either... Given your entries here on international developments regarding tobacco control, you may be interested in reading two such entries on my blog, one regarding public support for recent measures taken in Uruguay, the other on a study of the effects of a tobacco ad ban on teenage experimentation with smoking in Brazil. Regarding the former, when the new Uruguayan President (an oncologist by profession) imposed a tough public smoking law, many said that the public would ignore it and the authorities would not enforce it (a concerned raised here in the entry on France). Yet compliance and enforcement has been surprisingly good and public acceptance much higher than expected. This may in part be due to a solid accompanying public education effort.
