Seriously, isn't it just a bit much when they are making one section of the population like anti social lepers. Personally I think that it is a bit much, more hatred and venum is spouted againts smokers than rapist and murderers, so what, I have never heard of someone murdering or rapeing after smoking 20 fags. The whole law is ridiculous, why can't pubs vote to be smoking or non smoking, peoples jobs will go, and businesses will go bust.I know the arguement about non smokers going into pubs more often, but they generally are not the life blood of the ordinary pubs, they tend to go to trendy wine bars etc. anyway I shall await all you non smokers up in arms now, but come on, how many people do you know who have died from passive smoking, and don't mention Roy Castle, thats been done. In all my life working in pubs and being a customer I know no one who has succumbed and yet I know a few who have been run down by drink drivers. So whats next ban drinking in pubs, watch this space...
