Re: smoking and the pub
 
Personally I cant see the issue with popping outside for 3 min while you top up your addiction with carcinogenic drugs.

I'd not like to see a Heroin addict shooting up in the pub but at least they'd not make me smell like an ashtray.

Saying that I live with a guy who smokes but never in the house and only in pubs if everyone doesn't mind so I guess I'm used to seeing people take their dirty habit outside. :)

Course it does when you are dead through to much 3 DCP or what ever it's called, I am sure your cruel family will miss you :D and besides surely after people have gorged themselves senseless they, will be blocking beds that could be better used for smokers ;)

The ban comes in sooner in Wales, I have been surprised by many of the comments in my local from the smokers. I have been surprised how many of them don't seem to mind the ban, we only have one pub in town that's a no smoking pub and it does a very healthy trade. (No pun intended)

The landlady in my local is a heavy smoker, but she seems quite happy with the ban. She will at least not have to put up with people like myself who complain about having to wash their coat after every visit to the pub or get home from the pub and shower before bed.

the other advantage is not getting your clothes burned or being burned by someone with a fag, the latter happened to me whilst being served at the bar last weekend.

"Punch said the introduction of outside smoking areas and better pub amenities, often including a quality food offer could not only negate the ban but lead to new opportunities.
The company, which said it was well advanced in its preparations for England and Wales, has set aside a smoking fund of £18m to support publicans in their preparations."

"Hawley Harvey Crippen was born in Michigan, USA, in 1862. When he was 21 he came to England to improve his medical knowledge. He obtained a diploma, which was endorsed by the Faculty of the Medical College of Philadelphia, and in 1885 Crippen acquired another diploma, as an eye and ear specialist, from the Ophthalmic Hospital in New York. These qualifications were not sufficient for Crippen to practice as a Doctor in the UK."

I am sure Salu's is a proper MD (not one of the D.Phil's or Ph.D's), and he did not qualify in the Caribbean ;)
