How's the not smoking in enclosed public places going.

Or will you really find out when you first go pubbing it up.

I haven't been out to a pub yet but I did notice this sunday lunchtime that there was a marked absence of people out having lunch in the pubs near where I live. At work I have to walk away from the outside of the building to off the property into the street to smoke so I'm off private land. I think this looks far worse than smoking just outside the door where the public can't see.

I agree it looks worse. The rationale is that people should be a certain distance away from doors so that others don't have to walk thro' the smoke. I think this whole going right off the property is taking it too far.

Glasgow Council think thusly. You can't smoke in your own car in their car park. No matter how far it is from the building. I don't think that is actually covered by the legislation , however they have chosen to do it.

I think it'll be interesting to see how many more fights there might be with there being a fuckload of people standing around outside all the clubs/pubs up the street.
