I feel sorry for the smokers as an ex smoker myself, but since the ban in Scotland I can go into a pub with wife and daughter and have a pleasant smoke free evening.

Good excuse to give up

I'll second that.

 

But I think we will see loads of little 'green houses' outside public places so folk will still be lighting up.

As an ex-smoker, with lung problems...it's the best thing to happen here (ireland) at least I can go out for a few drinks without keeling over!!

A public place ...............open to everyone, and typically frequented by large numbers of people.

 

 

 

I stopped smoking 2 1/2 years ago so it will not effect me .........................and boy do I feel healthier for stopping smoking.

Been meaning to give up for a while now, this really is the kick up the ar#e I've been waiting for, and I'm sure many smokers feel the same, so even as a smoker I'm kind of looking forward to the ban (ish!)
