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 think the point is that heat in a foundry is something which can't be changed, whereas smoke in a pub is something which can be changed. So that's why they're changing it.

I have to admit that when I did bar work for one summer as a student I didn't really think much about the smokiness. But then I'd never encountered a non-smoking pub back then, so I doubt it occurred to me it could be different.
