Fucking DPD delivery. Paid an extra £10 to ensure something would be delivered yesterday and it never arrived. Still waiting now, and if it doesn't arrive in the next hour there's no point in it arriving at all.

There is a very compelling argument involving actual data which links the introduction of the blanket smoking ban to the now seemingly-irreversible death of the British Pub as an institution, which has rather unfortunately but ironically coincided with a massive rise in problem drinking through people drinking at home unsupervised/moderated.

I think an optional smoking/non-smoking license (or some other halfway compromise) would have been better. I do respect non-smoker's right to not be subjected to it, but treating smokers constantly like borderline criminals is up there with anti-piracy legislation and the war of drugs as endeavours trying to ram a square peg into a round hole and thinking they are the ideal solution.

I'd like my taxes to go towards supporting non-smokers and non-heavy drinkers with medical conditions thanks please government.
You wouldn't pay for my wife to have a back operation to fix a condition she's had since she was 5 that keeps her awake at night in pain.
It's the least you can do for us honest healthy tax payers that are trying to not be a burden.

The smoking ban was a very good thing indeed. I used to come home with sinus pain after a night out due to that constant, foul-smelling haze.

That's right - the only taxes the government collect are from fags and booze.

I've been smoking about 14 years and I am a fan of the smoking ban in pubs. Not only does it make you feel more comfortable in a pub now it is also more sociable from my experience because going outside for a ciggy puts you in with people you wouldn't normally have spoken to while in the pub.
