The Nanny state has taken over in many ways. Bus lane cameras, speeding cameras, seat belt wearing compulsery, no talking on mobiLes while driving, drinking and driving. IMO the smoking one is far less important than any of these. but these are becoming all widely accepted. A friend of mine from the US really notices all these I've mentioned far more than I do as they don't have them as much there. Now all of these make for far more of a Nanny state IMO. As far as I can see Neil, you're the only smoker who's really against this and that seems to be mostly down to the fact you work in the industry and smoke.
