LP and Mandi, it takes time! like if USA has always been the way it is now.. people cannot change over night. The idea has to settle in their mind. In order to stop doing it they have to FEEL it. I think awareness campaign is great efforts of the qatar government!
As for smoking indoors, it IS going away.. slowly, but going. People at our office used to smoke right at the office, no matter how many times they were warned. Few months later they finally have come to agreement to smoke on the staircase. Few weeks back they strated going outside for smoke breaks. And guess what, since it's a bit more complicated to go outside, they now smoke less! Isn't it a great result?
Again, Qatar is developing country. And I am happy, it is developing in a right direction!
