I was really surprised to see this news as it's such a large change and also that it's only within a single year...

I wish they'd ban it here in Charlotte. And....does anyone know how I can ban my in-laws from smoking???? They stayed at our house last week and OMG they were outside every 15 mins having "a fag" cos I can't stand it and won't let them smoke indoors.

I nearly had a heart attack when that fool of a landlord asked me to put my fag out.

So I nutted him and kicked him in the head while he was on the ground.

Thus proving that contrary to the BBC statistics, smoking bans in pubs have an entirely negative effect on health.

My compliments,

An excellent point, missed by most medical journals and studies, I'm sure! (I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm counselling someone!)
