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 also wish they'd banned smoking outside when in a queue or at a bus stop. I cannot avoid being at a bus stop if I want to get home, yet I've no effective way to avoid the smoke.

Just have a prolonged and dramatic coughing fit whenever someone lights up and they're upwind of you.

I do that *anyway* - and it's normally real coughing, rather than extra special dramatic coughing. Maybe that's the problem.
