According to some of the citizens of Wales, smoking bans in pubs and clubs ought to have a re-thinking. Pubs are closing down at an especially fast rate and many are feeling their pockets tightening due to the credit crunch, cheap supermarket prices and smoking bans.
Most smokers do understand that for a non-smoker their second-hand smoke can be very damaging, and that it is not fair for them to have breathe smoke in public places. What the Welsh smoking population is hoping for is some understanding and a few licences, which would allow for smoking to be legal in designated indoor premises. Even if only one in five pubs had designated smoking areas would be better than having one in five pubs shut down.
Which is true – this would make everyone happy not only in Wales but all over the world. If you do not like Sushi or Italian food, you always have the choice to go to a restaurant you like. Why should this be any different for smoking and pubs?
