The legislation was designed in a large part to protect people who work in those environments. Lung cancer in non-smokers is found most commonly in people who work in pubs, bars etc.

But whatever the arguments for allowing smoking in pubs, I do think it should definitely be banned in eating establishments without exception. I even know smokers who don't like smokey areas when they're eating.


I agree with this completely even as a smoker.

If there were separate outdoor entrances for the smoking and non smoking entrances I can't see how the smoke would travel between the two areas Topher. I miss having a smoke and a pint. :(

If you had separate outdoor entrances on both sides of the building with no way of getting from one area to another without going outside, you may have a point... however, how many buildings have the capacity to operate like that?

I pass a pub on my way into work every morning and it has a big smoking shelter on the side. It started off as just a plastic roof, but over the months it's added a transparent back wall and two sides, Now it looks like a really big bus shelter. My random thought the other day was when does 'outdoors' became 'indoors'? I mean it's now a three walled room.

I think it has to be completely enclosed, but I could be wrong.

Oh, we just had a good laugh at that film trailer Zoot.

I think it needs more than 40% of the walls and roof to be open to constitute "outside"

To be fair, it's doing the rounds on Twitter too, Graham Linehan retweeted it. He also retweeted Zoot's hilarious newspaper article (with the comment 'ROFLHARRIS', which amused me.)

I was at that time yes - but I've never joined in the dislike for Mills - that's not to say I'm a fan! I just get annoyed with adverts on commercial radio.
I am losing interest in Greg James though, not sure what all the fuss is about to be honest
