Smoking ban will save fortune on health

ISN’T it time that those who oppose the ban on smoking in pubs and restaurants got a grip on themselves.

The outcry against the ban is unbelievable everyone knows that smoking is injurious to health, and not just for those who indulge.

Let's hope that the Minister for Health, Micheál Martin, stands fast and is not distracted from imposing the ban next January. His colleagues in the Dáil who disagree with him should get sense and back him wholeheartedly instead of endeavouring to undermine him through the media.
