If public spaces had better lighting there would be less smoking and the non-smokers would be happy. What do you think? :D :D <br /><br />Not that I would be one to get anything started ...

And dont forget the ones that say you should be giving<br />the light bulb a second chance. As its not really<br />the light bulbs fault. We should protect the light<br />bulbs. Its really the electricians fault.
