As a smoker and having recently visited Scotland (Edinburgh) I was surprised at how pleasant it was in bars etc without smoking. I personally smoked less and hardly noticed any cravings as nobody else around me was indulging, also my clothes did not stink of stale tobacco. I saved money on cigarettes and laundering. I doubt I will give up though, but I'll certainly smoke less. I perversely look forward to the ban.

I know one person who hopes the smokers will continue to smoke be it inside or out, that's Gordon Brown.
I for one will be more than happy to see all the non smokers pay extra tax to make up for the shortfall in revenue.
The smokers and drinkers in this country have subsidised them far too long.

It's already been banned in Scotland for the past 6 months and it's great.
Not
Now we have to put up with bloody drunks loitering about the doorways of pubs smoking the bit out and being a general pain in the ar se.
Free country my ar se.

Give me the initiative to give up hope! Like most people, so where the government will get it's money from then, gawd knows!
They will probably raise taxes on other things and hit the non-smoker in the pocket!

We are having the same problem in the U.S. My friend (who is a non-smoker) said that us smokers will have to band together and protest like the black people did to get anything done about it. The only problem is people are just too accepting of it. I am mad because drinking kills alot more innocent people than cigarettes and they are not slowing down their advertisements at all!
