this week my country did a very clever thing. it banned smoking in all enclosed public spaces. that is pubs, bars, restaurants, cinemas, shopping centres, theatres. the whole thing. anything with four walls which the public can get in from next march will be a no smoking area. and those smoking or those in charge of such a place where smoking is happening can be fined.

this is all to stop passive smoking. and really to stop people coming out of bars smelling of smoke and having to smell it all the time.

this to be is a good thing. and england don't have it yet (devolution is omni-good).

so what do other people think is this a good thing?
