Where the Hell are you hanging out Cinderella? The only people I see smoking in public places are Qatari's. If I have seen an ex-pat smoking than it is because there is a Qatari smoking right next to them. Perhaps if most Qatari's didn't ignore their own laws the expats wouldn't either. In fact I would have to say that most ex-pats, especially Western expats, have a greater respect for the laws of this country than Qatari's do.

And as for smoking in other countries, in Canada the no smoking law is strictly enforced against everyone. There is no smoking in public at all and if you are caught you and the establishment you are in will be fined. Regardless of who you are.

You see in most countries we do this crazy thing called ENFORCING the laws.
