I have been in two minds about the smoking ban all along. It is possibly an intrusion into liberty but at the same time, how many of us object to other Health and Safety legislation where it prevents your job from harming you?
But again I am forced to question the legislation when Shisha bars are de facto wiped out. It seems madness to me that a business whose sole purpose is the smoking of tobacco in a social atmosphere will be forced out of business taking away, at a stroke, the business of the owner and a meeting place for people from different communities who are not so unhealthily obsessed with the drunk-culture (Did I just imply smoking was healthy? Sorry, I didn’t mean to).
My two-minded-ness continues.
In the meantime I shall enjoy the smoke-free atmosphere created and probably go to the pub more often.
