[QUOTE="getofmeland, post: 125769"] The Law is intended to cut deaths from second-hand smoke... So come on people how many people die from second hand smoke in a year... oh well Doctors estimate second-hand smoke kills more than 600 people a year. Wow that is Huge amount of people considering the UK Population is 60,776,238.... I am not a smoker but been brought up with pub life in the countryside, its alright all these people saying they will go into the pub now it is smoke free, but the truth the majority will go in once a month if even that, whereas the rural pub loses say 5 people who go in regular for 5 pints or such every night, they will probably not gain anything, they will in effect lose £75 a night from trade, it doesn't sound a lot but that would usually only cover the costs of the landlord... then there is the additional money lost from pool tables and fruit machines and jukeboxes. I feel there should of been a bit more sense around this, like there should of been more thought around the well enforced Fox Hunting Ban, which actually stop the police from doing real work, like catching real criminals...
