okay.
I walked past a pub last Friday and had to go onto the road because the
pavement was full of drinkers.
I was expecting smokers to colonise beer gardens and tables outside, but
I handnt thought they would occupy the pavement to the exclusion of
legitimate pedestrians.
What happens in Ireland might be a vision of the future in England:
little cordoned off areas outside venues with a horrendous
concentration of smoke exhaust. While the sun rarely shines on ireland
the times it does it's a shame rooftop terraces and gardens are choked
with smokers.
It's definitely a step in the right direction (any ban) but California
has it right: smoke-free cities. If you want to smoke, do it in your
car or your home.
