Yep, it's great, isn't it.
There's an aspect to this I don't suppose folks in England are going to experience though: When the ban had been in force a while in Scotland I travelled back down south to visit family and the shock of walking into a restaurant or a pub in England was astounding. I couldn't believe that it could smell that bad, and I couldn't believe that, with that gift of hindsight, the overwhelming majority (i.e. the three out of four people who don't smoke) had put up with it for so long.
Now everywhere is smoke-free you probably won't get to experience the contrast in quite the same way, but perhaps that's no bad thing!
Here's to a cleaner, healthier UK.
