Well it looks like the smoking ban might actually happen and as long as pubs continue to serve food rather than stopping and allowing people to smoke I’m happy.
Breakfast news (BBC, natch) had a pro and an anti smoking people on and the pro-smoking bloke seemed a bit silly
On whether it’s fair to subject bar workers to smoke he said
“Well they’ve got a choice”
Interviewer: “What of being unemployed”
Man: “Oh don’t be silly, they could get a different job in a non-smoking pub”
But of course on the suggestion that smokers will still have a choice of going outside for a smoke he said
“That’s not much of a choice is it”
Quite, my heart bleeds for him.
The BBC ran another comments page on the smoking ban and my favourite post is below
“Having a smoking section in a pub or restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.” Mike, London
