Nice to see my old friends, Drinking and Driving, mentioned again in a smoking thread. I thought they had died of embarassment years ago...;-)

Drinking, while having some tragic secondary effects at times, does not always affect everyone in close proximity as smoking does.

The infernal combustion engine, while being an evil, is a necessary evil. At present it has no viable alternative. There are viable alternatives to smoking.

Stop wheeling out the old chestnuts please.

Now, on a more positive note, why has no-one considered the technological answer? Surely with todays modern filtration systems we must be able to have extractors and purifiers that would keep everyone happy? Or is the licensed trade not to happy abput spending the money to put such systems in? Or am I perhaps a little too cynical?
