Subject: RE: 42 days to no smoking (UK)
Not a threat Dave, I went off on one because I though that was what meant, I'm in the wrong, so sorry.
It's the way that this law has been put in place & not thought out, there is plenty of room for smokers & non smokers to live side by side, should have been the landlords choice to allow one smoking bar & one none. Many old pubs will be lost to this, many livelyhoods gone, most bar staff work because they have too & loads will be laid off. The facts are there to be read for Scotland. We will lose sing, music & dance venues, leaving only the food & sport pubs belonging to the big chains. There is no way that they will let a load of "aging hippies" in with their beards & wierd instruments to sing about sheep shearing!
It is also about informed choice, I am well aware that smoking will kill me! But I will not be pushed into giving up by Blair or any of his cronnies! Just for the record I would not be pushed by the far right either!
