France bans smoking in cafes, hotels and clubs on Jan. 1, stamping out the habit popularized by Jean- Paul Sartre puffing Gauloises in hazy brasseries.  ÂÂ
Mon dieu!  And I thought it was l’Anglais Walter Raleigh!

No Exit — Jean-Paul Sartre
No Smoking — La Republique Francaise
That’s the sort of thing Asian tourists really get a kick out of I bet.
Mon Dieu, les Francais sont quitter les fags et le smoking!
Ceci pourrait signifier la fin de philosophie comme nous le savons.
(merci a “babel fish pour” le translation magnifique a franglais,
et àpropos, “fag” est l’argot britannique pour la cigarette – pas un épithète de homophic.
I may have to take up smoking.
Oh yeah, and
Ric Caric est un beatch total, dont l’âne existe où sa tête doit être.
Wow, Insultant hou làdes gens dans français suspect sont si beaucoup plus amusants que la façon régulière.
‘A bas les cigarettes?’ Can the Revolution be far behind?
Incidentally, I thought it was beotch in French, too.
What next? Are people going to start speaking Frog on ProteinWisdom! Ha! Fat chance. Banning smoking! What a bunch of weak-kneed capitulators. Surrendering like this to the Ninnies. Unless the Ninnies in this case are German, of course. In which case, we could chalk it up to a nasty habit.
Smoking…until recently, the only socially acceptable la méthode de suicide left.
On the other hand, “You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.”
Woody Allen quote…he’s always handy with quotes…
It’s a Huckabee wet dream it is.
And you thought that Parisians were obnoxious now …
I dunno. Maybe this is deconstruction at work. The smoker least of all can avoid questioning himself about the essence of his object in the form of a question of origin: “What is smoking?†means “where and when does smoking begin and end?†The responses generally come very quickly. They circulate like fine tobacco humors within concepts that are seldom criticized and waft within evidence which always seems self-evident. It is blowing through these responses that a typology of and a perspective on the growth of smoking are always organized. All works dealing with the history of smoking are lighted by the same fire: a philosophical and teleological classification smokes down the critical problems in a few puffs; one passes next to an exposition of facts, like reaching casually for another pack of Gauloises. Like the vulgar cigarette as against the cigar, we have a contrast between the theoretical fragility of the reconstructions and the historical, archaeological, ethnological, philosophical wealth of information.
Jeeesh. That was obvious people.
Whenever I get around to running my own country, I pledge to never ban smoking, and in fact, may mandate it.
I wondered how Jeffs comment would look in the true vernacular of philosophy……
“Peut-être ceci est la déconstruction au travail. Le fumeur peut éviter se questionnant moins que tout de l’essence de son objet sous forme d’une question d’origine : « Que fume-t-il » ? les moyens « où et en fumant commence et termine » ? Les réponses viennent généralement très rapidement. Ils circulent comme les beaux humours de tabac dans les concepts qui sont rarement critiqué et flotte dans la preuve qui toujours semble évidente. Il souffle par ces réponses qu’une typologie de et une perspective sur la croissance de fumer toujours est organisée. Tous travaux traitent l’histoire de fumer est allumée par le même feu : une classification philosophique et téléologique fume en bas les problèmes critiques dans quelques bouffées ; l’un passe àcôté d’une exposition de faits, comme atteindre avec désinvolture pour un autre tas de Gauloises. Comme la cigarette vulgaire comme contre le cigare, nous avons un constraste entre la fragilité théorique des reconstructions et la richesse historique, archéologique, ethnologique et philosophique d’information.”

Homer says: “Mmm… beer.”
Incidentally, has anyone tried Fin Du Monde? It’s actually pretty good.
yeah, i actually just went through a bottle of it with a friend last saturday. i still like chimay (blue) better, but la fin du monde is good stuff.
The beer is Canadian but its name is apt
