Subject: RE: 42 days to no smoking (UK)
Hello
I haven't read all this thread as it is so long, so if I am repeteing what has already been said I'm sorry. I live in france where there are still a lot of people who smoke, and going into bars is so unpleasantly smokey that I try to avoid it. There is a plan to ban smoking here in bars but it is getting a lot of resistance. Its is strange though that the same people who support fair trade and buy organic are also supporting a business that has been built on the back of slavery.

There are big posters in most bars here now saying " In one year my business could be closed because of the smoking ban"

In the last 3 years I have lost 3 good friends to lung cancer, thats not a "could be" thats a done thing.
