I was reading this article about a possible move by the British Government to ban smoking in all workplaces. I wanted to comment that the argument that it will cut down business in restaurants and bars is, as one person in the article states, unfounded. We have had non-smoking legislation here for many years and while, initially, there was a lot of worry about a drop in business, many of these types of businesses are still running.

I sincerely hope that the UK government opts to ban smoking in these types of places. I can never forget the satisfaction that I got when going out and not having to clean my clothes and wash my hair everyday due to the smell of stale cigarette smoke! I am sure that my lungs are way healthier too!
