If he wanted to work in the casino, he had no choice.


Apart from pubs, I can't think of any businesses where people might live on their premises.
mmmm- landlords can still smoke in their private living areas (which are usually above/separate to the customer areas)


Of course it's about want!!!!!! How many people have posted in this thread about looking forward to it because it may reduce SID??? No-one. It's mainly 'I don't want to smell of smoke' yadda yadda yadda.
The government (not the voters) have brought this in for health reasons, and (imho) one of the benefits of that will be lack of tobacco smell on clothes after visiting the local hostelry
Thought this would have been a good enough reason, myself......

"Passive smoking kills more than 11,000 a year in the UK - much higher than previously thought, a study shows.
The British Medical Journal study also gives a figure for people dying from second-hand smoke in the workplace - 600 a year - for the first time"
