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

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.

I am told by a couple of young colleagues, that non-smokers are actually being encouraged to take up smoking by the smoking ban in pubs. Sounds daft, ok, but, when there`s a bunch of youngsters and they have to go outside (to a sheltered area) for a fag, the non-smokers are left like Billy No Mates to keep the seats inside,twiddle thumbs and get bored... and go join the smokers. Doesn`t seem to be working so well, does it?

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.

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.
