In this past week I have noted how many soap dodgers there are, and the amount of people that need to go to a pharmacy and purchase some deodorant, and a number of people need to revise their diet, quickly.
In addition I think we have all forgot how much revenue that will be lost from this ban; the indirect funding that smokers have made to a number of the governments budgets through taxation on smoking products. This lost income will have to come from somewhere, and all of the non-smokers that have looked upon people who smoke over the years as lepers, will soon be putting their hands in their pockets and paying more tax somewhere. Possibly even a 2% rise on income tax. Maybe this will take that smug look off their faces when they have pay out more in tax or many of the hidden taxes that we have to endure in this country.
The Spanish and the French got it right, ignore the government, but improve your air flow units and put up clear signs that the establishment that you are entering is a smoking establishment. You have been warned, if you don't like smoking then be sensible and don't go into that particular establishment. The individuals choice - remember Big Brother has taken ours as smokers away from us.
