So,the smoking ban is shit then?
My blog only went live last night and 20 of you have bothered to email me,all agreeing so far.
I am off out tonight,the rain is torrential here,but my daughter runs a social club and my wife will be cooking for the darts and pool teams. The club has an outside verandah and a sand bucket for smokers,well,at least they have done something.
I shall spend my evening going to the bar,toilet,out side for a fag,back inside again. Putting a coat on,taking it off again. Joining conversations in mid stream,ending conversations quickly as I go for a fag and three others join me.
get used to this new way of smoking-never.
Repeal the ban.
This blog is not intended to discuss medical evidence that is debatable and one sided,but to firstly discuss ways of fighting the ban,ways of changing the ban and ways of dealing with the ban.
There is currently an on line petition on the government website:
REPEAL THE UNFAIR SMOKING BAN ! Politicians have no right whatsoever to force landlords to ban their customers from smoking within THEIR OWN property! Smoking is not illegal and as such landlords have the basic right to choose whether to operate a smoking or non-smoking pub. The Governments job is to educate people about the health risks of smoking but they have no right to force a ban. Just who do these politicians think they are to order people to abandon an age old LEGAL pub tradition currently enjoyed by Millions! A fair and simple solution is to repeal the ban, and allow landlords their rightful freedom of choice to run a smoking or non-smoking pub. People (politicians included) wishing not to smoke will naturally frequent the non-smoking pubs, and as such will no longer need to impose their opinions on people who exercise their right to smoke in a pub. Meanwhile the House of Commons bars will continue to allow smoking...oh the hypocrisy! Freedom of choice for all of us please!
