New smoke campaign in Luton

New smoke campaign in Luton
A new campaign urges licensees to withhold their vote in protest at the smoking ban.

Participating venues will display a banner saying "Can't Smoke, Won't Vote" next to every mandatory no-smoking sign.

The campaign is the brainchild of Luton Social Working Men's Club bar manager Sean Spillance and is backed by protest group Freedom to Choose. Spillance said: "Some people are a bit suspicious about the idea of not voting, but it's the only weapon we have.

"We are hoping to get pubs on board as well as clubs."

Freedom to Choose chairman Colin Grainger said:

"We fully support Sean's campaign."
