The idea
please to reinstate as previous comments , give the landlord/lady the right to decide who can smoke in their premises. the re-introduction of a smoking room is okay if necessary.
another part of the silly rule is not being able to smoke on open railway stations. my local station yate in south gloucester has only 2 platforms and you are not allowed to smoke even though the trains make more smoke and smell than the smoker.
incidentally i dont smoke thankyou
Why is it important?
all pubs have lost business especially when there is a football match on the tv. at half time people used to go to the bar to top up now all they do is go outside for a fag. this includes non smokers as well because all their friends are outside talking about the game so they really dont want to stay inside and talk about nothing to noone.
