Smoking ban

Lots of people are talking about the UK plan to totally ban smoking in enclosed public places which was voted through yesterday evening. Most of my friends list who have commented seem keen, though some have reservations. I'm curious as to what those who've not said anything yet feel. Do propogate this as widely as you like. Personally I think it's a good move, though I would have been as happy with the amendment which allowed smoking in private clubs. I do think a total ban in pubs is an excellent step. And no, I don't smoke, though I have in the past been in the "Well... a bit " category. - oh yeah and just to add I am still occasionally tempted if I'm out with one of the few friends who smoke.

Really? So that's at least one area where it's already been counterproductive!

It's pretty much an averages thing.

If you were on an aircraft back then full of smokers, then it was worse than today, even with the better ventilation.

If you were on an aircraft that had no smokers on board, then it was definitely better.

These days, it's more consistent. And I suppose that the seat fabrics no longer smell of smoke.
