Which publican will refuse to serve a smoker?
Does the minister seriously expect any publican to refuse an adult a pint if he or she lights up? Is he going to inspect every pub for ventilation? I have 28 air changes per hour in my pub and dining room. Any more would seriously interfere with ladies’ hairstyles or gents’ toupees.
Neither I nor any other adult smoker would dream of going on holiday to a country where an after-dinner cigarette, cigar or pipe was declared illegal.
