The smoking ban

The tobacco ban went through the House of Commons today. Barely anyone even noticed. It will take years for it to bite, by which time taxes will have turned most of the market illicit anyway and some health secretary will no doubt have taken the "brave and bold" step of taking the nicotine out of cigarettes or banning them for people of all ages.

I have said enough about this stupid prohibition for now, so here's someone speaking the truth about the 2007 smoking ban which some people naively believed represented the anti-smoking lobby's final demand. The account is called Britain's Lost & Living Pubs. Give them a follow.
