Like it or not it looks like it works…
“The number of people being taken to hospital with heart attacks in Scotland has fallen significantly since the smoking ban was introduced, the most detailed study into the impact of the measure has revealed. Researchers found a 17% drop in the number of people admitted for heart attacks in the year since the ban came into force, compared with an average 3% reduction a year over the previous decade. The reduction was most marked among non-smokers, with a 20% fall, compared with a 14% drop among smokers”.
pubs around here are properly sufferin for it though
that combined with rising alcohol tax
and dancefloors have no atmosphere cos everyone is outside
Ah I like a pub i visit, ‘last orders arrives and then its just the locals left… Out come the ash trays :weee:
What a civilised pub that sounds mate!
Just been to spain an there they have the anti smoking law. only difference is the premises can choose to be smoking or non. bollocks to this blanket ban rubbish….
my local does the same thing when only locals are in, i suspect a helluva lot of pubs do it, specially rural.

jus got back, didn’t even know there was a law, nowhere we went had opted for it, can’t imagine any place down there doing so
I had the same experience. think i went to one nosmoke place. where were you?
yeah – there’s a story about a boy called tarifan – he was driven mad by the wind
it is stunning, s’got the med on one side, the atlantic on the other and Morocco looms HUGE in the not-so-distance
there’s some photos on here in the travel gallery, they’ve lost some quality but . . .

if you go into pictures there’s an album titled ‘newest’ on the left hand side
i don’t have a place, lived there for a while a few years ago, was visiting friends who moved back in november
