Should smoking be brought back into pubs?I believe everyone is missing the point of the totally enclosed smoking ban. The ban was introduced to protect people from the dangers of inhaling Secondary smoke (SHS) from tobacco products. At the time of the debate in 2006, Messrs Pell, Hewitt and Flint stated that 11,000 people were dying every year from inhaling Secondary smoke and 160,000 from FHS. We have no official record of anyone dying from SHS. ( Mr Castle smoked cigars). ONS states 37,135 (yearly average over ten years) lung cancer deaths per annum but does not say how many were smokers, miners, drug addicts, worked with Asbestos, hereditary related, used Fluoride toothpaste etc etc.. So no clear evidence released by successive governments. Why? In 2011 major study showed no ill effects from SHS. Study conducted by anti-smoking people!! Lets show the world. Have smoking and non-smoking venues. Everyone is happy, including me who has seen an incredible amount of Pubs, Clubs and Bingo halls close. Ask this question of yourself. How many people did you know that died of SHS? Can you name them? What is written of their Death Certificate? UK is the only place where laws are made of somebodies 'Anti' feeling, rather than fact. Now that's a FACT!!
