Re: smoking and the pub
Leaving aside staff for one moment, which I am aware is an issue, does anybody actually have the evidence or is aware of how much damage a non-smoker actually does to themselves by say going into a pub a few times a week. I mean what are the actual facts here. Have any actual comparative studies been undertaken? Is the effect different/worse than living in a built up area? I would bet that the vast majority of any passive smoking effects are caused by living in a smoky environment rather than visiting a pub a few times a week. These are the issues are they not?

With all due respect my health is my concern. Also as far as I am aware I haven't actually stated whether or not I am a smoker, which at time of writing I am, but hoping to give up some time soon. It is also interesting to note however that because I smoke you assume that I have no concern at all for my health.
