Any trader From Italy?

Quote from Hume1515:

Yes, a cigar or cigarette pollutes the air. And so does a stearin candle also. One normal stearin candle pollutes like 20 cigarettes.

PS. When you are smoking cigars, you don't inhale the smoke. So I'm not afraid of getting lung cancer.

I don't know that much about stearin candles, and I definitely don't know how much cancer they cause. But I'm pretty sure they are by far not as used as cigarettes.
Besides, it's not really about pollution, nor about you inhaling. It's about passive smoke, that is, the people sitting next to you: they do inhale.
For the cigarette smokers there is probably also the advantage of reducing the risk cancer for them too.
In one of the regions of Italy a study has been made some time ago. I don't really remember how much lower the number of new lung cancers was since the law became effective, but it was pretty significant. Around 10%.
Not that I'm trying to defend the law, I like smoky bars. But there is a point

Smoking in restaurants should not be a problem. Make two rooms: One for smokers - and one for non-smokers.

Which means they might spend a few months in jail.
Thinking about starting your own news service? :)

I like to read (and share) news about Italy.

Well, one of them got 28 years. That's a pretty long time?

It is, yes.
I was kind of sarcastic. Yes, those people will probably be in jail for a long time. My point was more that this, unfortunately, doesn't happen so often.
 
Quote from Hume1515:

Nobody here knows Abruzzo?

Yes, but only the mountains. Been there many times. It's okay to ski there, although not as good as the Alps, of course.
I'm not sure I would like to live there. Bologna for me is still the best option.
