I wonder how many deaths have been a result of pickled eggs ?

Roy Castle never smoked

I suspect that pubs closing are far more affected by other things - beer sales in supermarkets and growing awareness of the risks of driving after drinking (not least, the risk of getting caught driving above the limit), plus the profit to be made by putting up housing developments on pub sites.

Any idea of rolling back on the smoking or the driving front would be daft and irresponsible. But cutting the tax on beer in pubs and making up the revenue by putting up the tax on sales elsewhere would make a lot of sense.

".....there is no evidence of anyone being effected by secondhand smoke"

Have a google, there is no evidence of anyone being effected by secondhand smoke. However it will close a lot of your folk clubs etc.
As I am not a singer or a muscian it will not effect me, you have brought it on yourselves by letting it happen

Myth only because it is not reported in that form. The reports denote the cause- cancer, emphysemia, etc.
