You make a very good point, crack, and upon further thought, I agree.
As long as there's a place (preferably within the club/pub) to facilitate smokers.
I mean, it wouldn't be so much hassle to construct an area that sucks the smoke out - kinda like an alcove, with a vacuum strapped to the ceiling?

Things is, I don't go to pubs and clubs anyway lol, so it don't really bother me inm that respect - I just worry about the increasing number of things that I'm told I can't do.
Especially when most of these 'banned' activites are contradictable.

Smoking, for instance. The government say that this ban is in the interest of the public's health - well, then why not ban tobacco outright?

Because, as we all know, the UK government rake in over £8illion a year in taxes!!
