English Smoking Ban

[Gunner]

I went to supper in a pub in Bristol last week and literally was driven out of the place half way through my meal due to the overwhelming cloud of smoke. The demarkation line hovered about four feet off the floor!

Too bad the ban doesn't cover the places where relief from smoke is impossible for the "inmates": adult care homes, hospices, offshore installations, submarines, police detention and interview rooms! Imagine being some octogenarian trapped in a room where the staff who push your wheelchair are choking you out with their smoke.

Thank goodness I can go out to a pub in Canada and get pissy eyed without hacking up a lung!

At least UK smokers won't freeze off delicate parts of their anatomy like our poor Canadian smokers! I genuinely sympathise being thin blooded myself.
