i wasnt gonna post aagain seeing the way this was heading but i would like to point out an example where everyone had fun.
Deb: remember the pub we went to see the slaves at??
That place had a lovely sheltered place for the smokers, where they could have a smoke and not miss the music, in fact i seem to remember it was nice enough that i sat out there with M for quite a while.
Just thought i would throw in an example of one of the many many pubs/clubs which have adapted rather than go all anal and complain. Once again if there is a drop in business for any pubs/clubs which is DIRECTLY and not just finished off by the ban then there are two parts to blame, the smokers who just wanna complain about something and the establishments who wont make the neccessary changes to accomodate everyone.
Many towns didnt have alternate venues/sections for non smokers or those that did try had the sections so close together that you might as well have been been sitting with the smokers. Smokers choose to smoke, we didn't. Life is much better for the evryday person.
And i'm sorry but the fact that alot of money tax wise comes from smokers is the most ridiculous reason i've ever heard in my life for people to smoke or be able to ignore everyone elses wishes. That just means we need a better government who doesnt throw money we dont have at stupid bloody ventures/schemes.
