weed > cigarettes
humanitarian movement Weed smoke is worse than cigarette smoke. it is a little worse but weed isn't addictive, and the average pot smoker smokes a lot less than average people who smoke cigarettes (i dont know how much a really heavy pot smoker smokes but i doubt it even comes close to 10 cigrarettes a day, 20 is out of the question)
It has 3-5 times the amount of carcinogens a cigarette has. It's not just "a little" worse, it's a lot worse. I know plenty of pot smokers who smoke more than 5 cigarettes worth of weed a day.
Since it's been brought up. I don't think the government should have any say in whether or not a bar, club, or restaurant allows smoking. It should be up to the owners of said establishments. That's another topic, though.

I figure I could fill in some gaps from the Scandinavian pricing.
In Finland, the tax on cigarettes just rose a month or so ago.
Some history:
They first reduced the taxes due to the easily available option of importing your own cigarettes and alcohol from cheaper countries (such as Estonia) -- made possible by the EU (European Union) -- along with the the alcohol taxation, but later on decided to increase the taxes on cigarettes even further up than they were before. Which is a smart thing to do, to say the least.
They've been trying to follow the lead of other Scandinavian countries by initiating a law which completely bans smoking in restaurants and such places alike, but it has received a poor reception from the ever-so-stubborn Finns. Hopefully they'll push the law through, though; judging from the outcome in other Scandinavian countries, it seems to be an excellent choice of action.
Currently a regular sized pack (20 cigarettes) costs:
LM 3:60euros
Marlboro 4:10euros
The currency rating today 29th April 2005: 1.00 Euros is 1.29 US Dollar.
1.00 US Dollar is 0.77 Euro.
The cost of other cigarettes is around them, and most likely in the same proportion as they are in Your country.

NY state banned smoking from all indoor commercial or public places like restaurants, bars, movie theatres, everywhere, it is so awesome.

smoking and doing things with your own body should be an inalienable right as long as it doesnt hurt anybody else.
