Yes the government are just slowly climbing down the stairs into the shallow bit rather than dive bombing in at the deep end on this occasion.

Re: smoking and the pub
It is going to be a couple of years before any ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces that serve food is implemented, if then. Would that time be too close to a general election for it to be on the agenda then? There can be many delaying tactics used to bring it even nearer to general election time and many amendments will probably be on the cards.
When, and if, it eventually gets on the statute books it will have one immediate effect. Many pubs which currently serve food will stop selling food. That will mean that the non-smoker will have even less choice of pubs than they now have if they wish to escape the smoke. They will also have less choice of places where they can eat. The only sensible solution is to only ban smoking in parts of pubs where food is consumed and allow smoking areas to exist in other parts of the pub. |

The only sensible solution is a total ban in enclosed public spaces, otherwise a) you can't protect staff and b) people will try and dodge the legislation as many appear to be planning to do as a result of this fudge.

I thought that earlier in this thread you wanted a complete ban on smoking in all pubs whether they served food or not. You implied that even if there was only one pub that allowed smoking then it would restrict your choice. There are many pubs which serve food which have segregated areas for smokers and non-smokers. If some of these stop serving food then they may abandon the seperate areas, particularly if they find smoking areas are packed full and no smoking areas have few people in them. There is an abundance of pubs where there are segregated areas but with no physical division between them. In many of them there is no smell of smoke at all in the no smoking areas. In pubs where smoking is banned completely there is often a group of smokers who have nipped outside for a smoke. Outside means that they are just out of the door and you have to pass through the clouds of smoke to get inside. Also some of the smokers just have half of a cigarette, nip the glowing end off and return it to the packet for later. The smell that they bring back into the pub is usually much worse than the smell that would have been there if they had been smoking inside. |

And on and on it goes. This one refuses to lie down
If only, if only this much energy and enthusiasm could be seen in other areas then I'm sure the world would be a nicer place :confused: :) |
