    There's a movement over here citing a ban on Smoking, I sincerely hope it pulls through, disgusting habit.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Good thing. I hate it when my clothes and hair stink of smoke once I get home.

    I really wish that was effective here in the states. It is quite annoying when I'm trying to enjoy a meal in the non smoking section and all I can do is smell smoke from the guy puffing away on the other side of me.

    The sooner it's here the better. In a pub twenty minutes after work and I stink. It's disgusting.

    Was there not something about pub workers not being able to get life insurance because of the risks of the smoky environment?

    Bad ban. Just because you find a habit disgusting, does not mean you should be able to ban in on another's property.

    It's about the safety of the staff more than anything else. I view this ban in a similar light to proscriptions on factories having to use properly maintained machinery.

    Why do people find it necessary to smoke while eatting? I don't smoke, but I can assume you have absolutely no will power if you cannot eat a meal without lighting up a cig.

    I worked a diner before and I am extrelemy glad this been put into effect.
