Of course, the down side now is that outside every pub,shop,restaurant and office in anytown,anywhere, are great piles and swathes of cigarette butts lying on the ground-----at least BEFORE the ban, most people used to put them out in ashtrays !! But then ,that AWFUL STINK that smokers just don"t notice,has all but vanished from pubs & bars,and, to be honest, I haven"t noticed much decline in numbers attending clubs and sessions, at least not in this area ( Oxon /Berks/ Bucks )."Anniecat " suffers from acute Bronchiectasis anyway, so she for one is mightily relieved by the ban , and I gave it up 7 years ago after many years of breathlessness, terrible nerves, bad headaches, and paroxysmal tachycardia ( All gone now !!).
