People bleated at the time that if they wanted to go out for a meal (probably only once a month) that they shouldn't be subjected to a smokey atmosphere. I agree. I smoke and I wouldn't want it when I was eating. It has killed the trade though in the traditional 'drinkers' pubs.
Darren. If you read this. Has it affected your trade?
I'm a smoker but I agree with the ban - Non-smokers should always have the right to enjoy a pint without being subjected to passive smoke.
