the FO'C'SLE is a Friday night club in Southampton which has been non-smoking for about 6 years now. I started the whole non-smoking thing at that club. The bar downstairs has plenty of smoke for all. The Woolston club in Southampton meets on the same night and is run by chain -smokers.

For those who think that smoke is a trivial CHOICE, may I add that for those of us with asthma, the effect of being in a smoking venue can last for several WEEKS and the more times we expose ourselves to smoke, the worse our health is the next time we are exposed. I finally had to leave the UK because it was not possible to avoid the (sometimes aggressive) smokers. Not everyone has the ability to leave the country. There is no cure for asthma.
