Not that I’ve been into a pub in a good long while, but as a firm supporter of the smoking ban, I think I’ll flag this up today. It is now ten years since the ban on smoking in public buildings came into force, and I think the country is a better place for it. We are no longer forced to breathe in some selfish bugger’s second hand smoke, which is especially welcome for those of us who find it hard to move out of it’s way. I know it wasn’t to everyone’s liking – namely smokers – but long may it continue, I say.
