If there is a true demand for smoke free pubs then the market would have provided them as it was starting to and likewise if there is a true demand for smoking pubs the market would have kept them or had separate rooms etc.

Well, market forces DID sort it out, with the result that there were very few non-smoking pubs.  Which, as a non-smoker, was a right pain.  There's nothing worse than trying to eat a meal when the person next to you is blowing smoke in your face.

From a purely selfish point of view I'm very glad the nanny state intervened in this one and went against the drinking habits of the British public so that I can now go and enjoy a pint without coming home stinking of fags.

I've spent way more time and money in pubs since the ban than I did in the year before it.

A lot of the pubs are closing down where I come from, but some are still smoking, when just the regulars are in, which says it all IMO. not telling you which ones though

Might as well take cynide, if you want to kill yourselves slowly. Least that way you'll cost the NHS less money.

Well on that thought we ought to add hugh tax to sporting goods, Tax horse riders, bicycles, pedestrians, in case they have an accident

Best also put more tax on beer, wine and spirits  :wink:

Best also legalise drugs and tax them too :wink:  If they need treatment for an O/D then it will balance the accounts better.

Where do you draw the line?? If you want to be picky you could add to the above  8)

By the time I die of Cyanide poisoning I will hae paid enough to cover my bill  :wink:  can you say if you break your leg that you have contributed enough??
