Is what it feels like to wander into a cafe, bar, restuarant or pub in Venice/Italy. Smoking is banned and what a massive difference it makes.
No longer do your clothes smell of smoke, your eyes get irritated or your throat get sore- everything is lovely and fresh and it's a real pleasure to use these establishments now.
All the smokers take to the streets and they seem quite content to do so. But then again, with such views and mild weather it's not too much of a chore.
What is even more amazing though is that the streets remain butt free and clean. I have no idea where the dead fags end up but if it's down to the street cleaners, they are doing a quite excellent job.
So England, something to look forward to, although the smokers may not be so keen as the scenery is not quite the same and you can guarantee the weather will definitely not be!
You've always said it's an infringment of freedom.

It is, and I remain firmly of the view that smoking should be allowed to continue in pubs. A fag and a beer just go together. BUT, the option to drink in a pub where smoking is banned should also be possible to give smokers and non-smokers the choice.
ReplyDeleteI am merely commenting on how good it is to be able to visit places where there is no smoke to contend with. Loved it. :oD
