Interesting - very interesting indeed I think the smoking ban has been the death toll for so many pubs

Didn't France get a smoking ban overturned as well? It's more the simply not accepting bans that has got me interested.... only thing is, there's simply not enough vapers yet to make it a real possibility for us tho... if only we could get NON smokers to support us, as in, if we have our ecigs...we're not polluting their nice clean? air with our fumes, and we're not hurting them by passive smoking...

Unless pubs round here have good restaurant facilities, they're really struggling - several of them have applied for Planning Permission for Smoking Shelters, which have been met with a very unfavourable response from the Local Authority.
Didn't the Greeks ignore the ban completely and carry on smoking regardless?!

Crying shame Chris. The 'hearts' of the community are being lost all over the country.

I agree Lolli, we don't put up enough of a fight... when you think about it, how DARE the government decide for us that we can't vape....the smoking in public places - fair enough with passive smoking and all that, but this is different... i just get sooooo mad when i think about it!!! and how are you doing, little one?
