So you agree that a ban on public smoking is acceptable then? Anybody smoking in public puts smoke into the air that other people then breathe in. There are harmful chemicals in smoke - including
cyanide - that I don't want to breathe in.
Anyone who doubts the difference a ban on public smoking might make should go and visit a few shopping malls. Some ban smoking, some do not. A trip to the Marlowes Centre in Hemel Hempstead followed by the Arndale in Luton would illustrate the point very nicely. The Arndale hasn't banned smoking. After being used to shopping in Hemel (or at the Harlequin in Watford, which is also non-smoking), going to the Arndale is a vile experience. It stinks.
