Northern Ireland has stubbed out smoking for good with a ban in cafes, bars and restaurants as well as workplaces coming into force today. That means it's illegal to smoke in these places, I mean it's bloody ILLEGAL. I have already had a visit at work this morning from the Environmental Health who gave me a ticking off for not having the correct signage up and when enquiring where I smoked (outside) reminded me that I can't, because there are no ashtrays in the street in which to put the butt, so in theory I could be prosecuted for littering. How dumb is that?! If only other laws where policed this effectively the country would be a better place.
Apparently research suggests 95 per cent of people support the legislation which is already in effect in Scotland and Wales and will be introduced across England in two months. Again this is rubbish, as every smoker I have talked to is pissed about it! Now don't get me wrong, I would not want to smoke where people eat, in the work place around other non-smokers, hospitals, etc but surely places like public houses should have a choice as to implementing this law or maybe a room could be provided for partaking in inhalation of tobacco products that is inside the building. What is this all for anyway, best guesstimate puts one death every fortnight due to second-hand smoke, that's 24 a year, more people probably get killed cleaning the bath. It's just my opinion and it counts for nothing as this ban is here to stay. On the plus side it will save me a fortune not hitting the club at the weekend!
Read the reactions here or anywhere, they are suspiciously one sided... Right, I am done with this now, move along and enjoy your Monday.
