The idea
This stupil ill thought out law should be amended, to allow pub landlords the choice, as in Spain, France Belgium, and Germany.
This law has ruined the pub and club trade, I used to love belonging and going to the local working mans club, and it was a great social evening, but no more, as 90 percent of members liked a smoke, now they are thinking about closing.
Its not rocket science to have a proper smoking section in clubs or pubs, or give the landlords a choice, then non smokers can stay away from these pubs, but I bet they don't.
Why is it important?
It is important, because, people like myself can have some sort of social life, without freezing and getting soaked standing outside in all weather, plus my local will be able to make a decent living.
