Just six days before Norway's ban on smoking the government has issued posters that read 'Welcome to Norway.

The only thing we smoke here is salmon'. The posters are part of a new anti-tobacco campaign launched by the Norwegian Ministry of Health before the Scandinavian nation on June 1 becomes the second country in the world after Ireland to introduce a total smoking ban in all public places.

The government will bans all smoking in public places, including bars, restaurants and discos.
