Smoking ban

[lnr]

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.

I don't see how one differentiates where the private members club is concerned. If these rules apply to them, then they must apply to your house.

The place of work section presumably does apply if you're primarily working from home. I'm not sure about the other part.

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how correct he is. But if it's a possibility, and something that they're "never going to enforce", then I don't like the sound of that at all, especially with this government. They have a track record of going back on this kind of thing...
