It begins.
The government could have easily mitigated the effects by freezing the duty on alcohol sold in pubs and increasing the duty on alcohol sold in supermarkets.
Would also help to stop the sale discounted cheap booze in place's like tesco's where you can get larger that is cheaper per litre than some bottled water or fizzy pop.

Surley this depends how many of your group are made up of smokers and non-smokers. If there is only one smoker than they are the billy no mates outside in the cold and rain. Whilst the non-smokers can carry on their conversation in the nice warm pub with a drink. |

Well Liverpool is the European cultural capital of 2008, so perhaps it's getting carried away with celebrating the great facist traditions of Germany, Italy, France and Spain. |

More absurdity from the anti-smoking lot. Apart from anything else, some great classics would fall by the way side. |

LTNS, we know you want to persecute smokers but the punishment for allowing smoking on your premises is a fine, not prison.
Update the Health Laws.
Lock the pathetic Criminal Rotten Smoker Up.

As much as I don't like smoking watching this chap on the news I got a real sense of an ordinary bloke standing up to authority and going no "sod you lot I’m doing what I bloody well like"
It can't help but tug the heart strings of my anarchist tendencies.

"Chicago and New York are about to close out 2007 with the lowest number of homicides in more than 40 years, while cities such as Baltimore, Atlanta and Miami have seen killings go up because of what police say is a surge in guns and gang violence.
New York City reported 488 slayings as of Friday, versus 596 for all of 2006. The city is on track to have the lowest number of killings since reliable record-keeping started in 1963."
