The New York smoking ban was nowhere near as comprehensive as the one
in Ireland. I think there was one in Torronto a few years back too. The ban in
Ireland is a 'workplace ban'. Nobody can smoke ANYWHERE people are
working (except outside). Not just bars and restaurants. It really works and I
have no doubt it will be introduced in the UK soon. I really don't agree with
banning smoking in private places including your own car or house,
(Smoking IS banned in company cars and work vans during working hours),
just because its a civil liberty type of argument.

it was on the last word on today fm that they were thinking of campaigning for people to ban smoking in their homes. with regard to ash statement that ireland were the first to ban smoking in public places it was actually guilliani in new york at least 4 yrs ago. michael martin jumped on the band wagen.

smaking is banned in my house if the father in law wants to smoke he goes outside, i have the odd cigar and smoked inside once and said never again the next morning. i go outside my own home for a cigar.

I don't have kids, and I don't smoke around other peoples rugrats.  I also don't attempt to light up in other peoples cars/homes unless invited to.

I agreed with the smoking ban in public buildings, but this is really extracting the urine.  Next I won't be able to smoke in my own house (you can't if you have someone working in your house with the way the law currently stands).

Thinking about texting the guy above.
