One thing this will most likely lead to is an increase in the production/consumption of counterfeit cigarettes and the lovingly known as ‘fag houses’
I used to be a social smoker. Only smoking on a weekend when out. Never ever touched one during the day or during the week.

I think it could be a good thing especially for people's health.

I remember walking in to the Holiday camp bar the day before the ban i could see the wall on the other side.


the following day I could see the wall outside the window.


The trouble is some (not all) smokers think they have a god given right to smoke anywhere, once where I worked we had a fire alarm and the second they got out they stopped to light up, and stopped people evacuating.


The evacuation was due to a suspected gas leak, the company had a no smoking on site, especially during a drill.


they all got written warnings.
That happened at nearly every place I worked. As soon as smoker came out during an evacuation or drill they would light up no matter what.
