As the UK has recently introduced a smoking ban in public places, I assume that Linden Labs with its policy of applying RL laws to SL, will shortly enforce a smoking ban, at least in non-restricted areas.
Or will landowners be able to flag their land smoking or non-smoking?

I'd just like to point out that as my cafe at the Mall is open air I will be introducing ashtrays and allowing smoking. Mind you if you can find a beach as clean as mine in the UK you're doing well. Maybe that's a unique selling point ... I could rename it Blackpool and strew the sand with used johnnys, discarded Red Bull cans, donkey poo and nuclear waste from Sellafield.

smoking in a cafe is illegal in my rl location, so obviously ll will have to ban this activity.

if smoking is charged then vehicles must be charged aswell, airspace regulation and landing fees, taxes, water, gas and electricity etc etc etc I am very concerned about the lack of Health and Safety regulations in SL. Teleporting is a very dangerous mode of transport and should be regulated. Seatbelts should be worn at all times. Also, there have been injuries due to falling off balconies, staircases, and walking into doors. Slips Trips and Falls are a major issue here, and falls from height. There are many Substances Hazardous to Health, and the COSSH rules are blantantly ignored. Caledon is littered with uncontrolled Cavorite mines, and radio beacons, which i am sure are the cause of a lot of ruthing and dangerous lag. I have warned many times of the internal trauma caused by shoe buggery, several nasty diseases of the skin, causing the dreaded 'Black Spot' epidermal abrasions, leg shrinkage is rife, and swelling of genitalia due to ignorance of handling techniques. Something should be done. imogen Local Health and Safety inspector _____________________

A number of sexual acts are banned in certain US states. Are virtual enactments of these acts in SL also anned if you're physically located in one of those states?
And can you have sex at all if you're based in Singapore, where even oral sex between consenting adults is banned by law? |

I have still been unable to find out which side of the road I should drive on in SL!
Perhaps this is academic as it is difficult to even keep my car on the road, and I'm sure that's not just because I'm a woman driver, the guys are just as bad at crashing! |

Yes, and free buckets of icewater. Imogen RL I had a friend being hit on by a drunken idiot. I tried the 'leave my girlfriend (she wasn't) alone' routine with predictable results so I told him I'd ice his pants for him if he didn't desist (how I said that I dunno ... we'd been working our way through the liquors based on the pretty colours and I get drunk easily at the best of times). The girl behind the bar must have heard me. I leaned back and asked her for some ice and she came back with an entire plastic pint glass full of the stuff. So I took one cube out and said "You know what I am going to do now, don't you?". Blank look and a belch (no not me, him). Pulled his belt, took a terrible health risk and tipped the rest down into where alcohol hath rendered inoperable anyway - then I said ... "And how do you feel now huh?". "Uggh ... I feel funny ..." and off he lurched. The funniest part was what happened over the next few weeks. I had people coming up to me and asking "Are you the bird who chucked ice in John's kex?" etc ... buying me drinks, shouting "Oi John she's over here" and seeing him scuttle away looking embarassed when I saw him in Marks and Spencers etc. Milton Keynes is a very small place, there was no hiding! I'll do it if Brenda can come along to point and vomit for me. It's a public service! _____________________
