No Smoking in Scotland from 2006

At last, we're following Ireland in banning smoking in all public places by Spring 2006. It'll be enforced with £2.5k fines on employers, and threat of removal of license from licensed premises, while persistent offenders will be fined up to £1k. Nice to see (a) The Scot Exec doing something good (b) Gaining all-party support.

Smoking ban

Although I used to smoke myself, I understand now about people's objections to it. As a recent quote I spotted put it in perspective "smoking in front of others is a bit like have an area of a public swimming pool reserved for peeing in"
