The smoking ban has made it through! And in its most strict form!
story from BBC news I really couldn't be happier. While I understand that some smokers feel they have to enjoy a cigarette in the pub, I feel I also have a right to go out for a drink without risking an asthma attack (even non-smoking areas are often sufficiently smoky for me to be affected).
Who knows, I might even dare go to a club again next summer.
