East Europeans understand smoking bans destroy economy......vote to repeal ban in cafes

ZAGREB (Reuters) – The Croatian government moved on Thursday to loosen a controversial public smoking ban enforced only four months ago, after cafe owners complained it was crippling business.

Ironically, former free market nations like the U.S. recognize the financial damage due to various smoking bans, but are clueless in the midst of dictatorial, marxist, socialist regimes to reverse behavioral control policies that destroy our economy.

Apparently former communist nations like Croatia (once part of Yugoslavia) recognize and fight against tyranny more effectively than complacent (previously free) westerners.
