It's The End of English Smoking As We Know It
Last night Parliament decided on a total smoking ban in pubs and clubs, coming into effect in mid-2007.
Although I enjoyed the smoke free environment in Dublin I think to general public should have had more of a say in matters here, but hey, Labour have made it pretty clear they can call the shots for us.
To lighten the blow however, my morning got of to a good start today when I came across this article in The Guardian about the social significance of smoking. My favorite point is number three, that banning candy cigarettes (Ah, I remember them) failed to stop kids smoking and now they're all addicted to smack. It's fun, because, it's true.
And remember, smoking certainly doesn't make traditionally ugly people look cool...
