Zing, you're absolutely right that non smokers have the right to live, sleep, eat in a smoke free environment - I've no issue with that.

I do find it interesting though that there is no provision for retrospective claims in any of the current legislation and the country is awash with both legal and illegal tobacco forms. The ban, if indeed the health and wellbeing of people is its core purpose, is fraught with loopholes and contradictions which suggest that this is a "finger in the dyke" approach.

Whilst it might be a bit "over simplistic" for some I think that the Government would be seen to be genuinely interested in the health of its citizens by banning tobacco outright.
