Not a smoker, and never have been. I remember when Edmonton implemented the smoking ban - it took effect on July 1. Calgary's smoking ban took place on Jan. 1. Thus, smokers in Edmonton had about a month and a half to get used to smoking outside before winter, whereas Calgary smokers had to step out to light up right in the midst of winter. I think that Edmonton had the right idea in that regard.
