The smoking ban is a draconian law. Why should it not be possible for pubs to continue to allow smoking if THEY want to? If you don't like it, find another pub. <br/><br/>The bans provides NO way through which pubs could continue to allow smoking - not even through installing ventilation to improve air quality to a certain level.<br/><br/>I dislike smoky pubs - so I make my choice and <i>don't go to them!</i><br/><br/>Here, I would say that YOU are being by far the greater tosser.

I dislike smoky pubs - so I make my choice and don’t go to them!

Here, I would say that YOU are being by far the greater tosser.

I think it is the absolute worst when we have parents or nannies smoking while caring for children. Strangely, I am against the nanny state.

I was thinking more of the lengths ‘ordinary’ people are now going to, to avoid Gatso fines, congestion charges etc., by car cloning, getting granny to take the points etc etc - once the sole province of master criminals and the Labour Party.

After all, they're just planning to do something that until the day before was completely legal! I agree with you, Dick - I don’t smoke (and hate smoke) but this government certains makes me want to join in this rebelion just by buying a packet of fags and lighting them one by one and letting them burn away inside a pub on July 1.

I think it’s more the beginning of a democratic rebellion, as intending to break a law that has not yet been implemented can hardly be termed “general lawlessness”. After all, they’re just planning to do something that until the day before was completely legal!

I have never smoked in my life and think it a dreadful habit, but this f****** government makes me want to light up 60 a day, duty free.

I spoke to a group of people today who were adamant that they would tear out any road pricing car devices.

Is this the beginning of a true democratic rebellion, or a descent into general lawlessness?
