The idea
Amend the ban by giving licensees the right to open a 'smoke room' on condition that signage is clearly indicated at entrances so that those of the public who may be offended by the smoke would obviously keep clear. As a retired licenced victualar with more than 25 years in the trade, I come across many of my old customers,many of whom are none smokers, who comment about the loss of atmosphere, especially because so many are in and out for a 'drag'.
Why is it important?
The necessity to keep open many struggling Public Houses, so helping run down neighbourhoods, and help keeping that community to survive.
