i could invent and patent a aerosol that contains tobbaco smoke so that if you are in a pub say that you could have a spray of this without going outside to have a ciggy . How do you think the law would see this as you would not be lighting up .

Smoking in pubs is a grey area.
If you are the owner (not a manager) of a pub, then technically all your regulars could be treated as guests.
This can only be done by closing the doors, and not making them pay for booze whilst on the premises; work around is this - charge them a fee before you lock them in, and then let them out by the private entrance when they've finished.
As a guest, they can actually smoke on the premises; technically you have no employees for the duration of this lock-in!
Downside - they cannot re-enter until next time you operate like this!

It wouldn't even get off the starting block. It's the tobacco smoke that's the issue not the blinking match you light the cigarette with. Oh by the way aerosols containing certain propellents are already banned.

It's called solvent abuse. Nice idea but illegal. See - they've screwed all ways!! You can't smoke inside the pub - But you can't drink outside the pub either if it's not a private area. Best bet is just close the pubs down. Solves all the problems then.

If the spray affects anyone other than you, it should still be against the law. I wouldn't sit in a bar and blast you with my perfume or deodorant, would I?
Why not just use some nicotine gum? That won't bother anyone.

It would be treated as any other aerosol -- and likely fall under the same restrictions as spraying pesticide into the air.

Well......what constitutes smoking anyway?
if i were to give a lit cigarette to a non-smoker to hold, would they be smoking?
