I thought they deserved a mention and some consideration, as their existence seemed to be ignored. The ban has been more of an inconvenience to them than most, those who frequent pubs at least. Sympathy for my 'position' is unnecessary. I do not inflict my smoke where it is not wanted, and do not require any justification for my behaviour, as it harms no-one. By that I do not mean that passive smoking is harmless, lest I should be misinterpreted yet again.
