Like I said, It works in Ireland, the draw back is the millions of dog ends on the floor.

The public bins do have assh tray facilities built in, and seem to be emptied often (Can you see that happening in the UK?)

And I admit it is nice to have a night out and not come home smelling of smoke.

But I think the anti smoking lobby have taken things too far, by victimising smokers.....or let me rephrase that, victimising and hounding the drug addicts, people with a weakness they are making enemies. Prejudices against those who smoke need to be addressed, because if we smokers all give up, EVERYONES income tax and NI will go through the roof to cover the lost tax revenue.
The NHS bill might see a small drop from smoking related diseases, but hey lets remember even non smokers can die from lung cancer, heart disease etc.

Does anyone know what the gov revenue is on tobacco tax? Remember that all that will have to be covered when smokers are forced to quit.

As someone who now drinks little, I think we should address the helath issues surrounding alcohol, lets ban alcohol in pubs, clubs and restraunts, alcohol can torture and destroy the lives of miilions, and the effects it has on the human body have to be reolved by the NHS, Alcohol related disease is self inflicted and as such alcohol should be banned.
