The post you are reporting:
No Alexander, smoking areas are NOT the answer. Non-smokers would still suffer.
Allowing establishments to choose for themselves whether to be a smoking or no-smoking place is the democratic, sensible and adult method which should be adopted.
Barry, with seperate establishments you would be able to choose which NON-SMOKING place to frequent, and you wouldn't be denying anyone else their freedom of choice. Your post indicates a strong aversion to smokers, to the extent you would deny them the same rights as yourself. If we all took that view on everything, we would become a divided and fragmented nation very quickly.
The only risk to allowing freedom of choice is that pubs etc., will clamour to get back their lost customers and become smoking places again, but, reports on this very Forum tell us that the smoking ban hasn't damaged the liesure trade, so, this is not likely to happen in a major way, is it?
