i do respect your views sejanus........ BUT i think you are in the minority, the ban has been in Scotland for over a year and although i do agree with you to a point about resteraunts ( i always have hated smoke round food) but pubs and clubs wont beneift and I think after over a year if they were they would have started to by now. i think its about the people who go out to these places...... the folks that tend to frequent social clubs are not necessarily all the same type of folk who frequent resteraunts.
When folks go out for a pint or a drink round here they want to go out and relax and enjpy themseleves and that includes having a cigarette.
The sales in off liscenses up here have went right up cos folks would much rather sit in the hosue and have a drink and a smoke and chill, cos they cant now do it on a night out. as i said before i think it is far more prevalent in rural areas thant he big towns and cities, but that fact makes it no less relevant.
