The new smoking law coins a new verb: Smirting



Smirting: (smoke + flirting) To go outside of a bar or restaurant where you can't smoke and hang out with other fellow smokers while you flirt with them.

Smirting was first identified in New York in 2003,and spread to the Republic of Ireland in 2004 when an aggressive smoking ban in public places was enacted.

Smirting has been so successful that non-smokers try to mingle with the smirters. The non-smokers may then start to smoke too and so this is a health risk

Sociologist and sexologist Pepper Schwartz states that the smirters are "defiant and angry, they don't buy the second-hand smoke argument, and want to share this grudge with someone else." When they are forced outside, smirters form strong bonds in what is essentially an exile community.
But this exile community has its rewards. One study found that 25% of Irish couples who had started a relationship during 2007 or 2008 had met while smoking outside.
(Taken from Wikipedia)

Apart from smirting, what positive and negative aspects can you see in this law?
