So the government have finally set a date for the UK smoking ban; July 1st 2007! This means no more pubs/gigs full of people smoking. No more choking, and no more stinging eyes. No more going home with clothes and hair stinking of other people’s smoke. Hooray!

Once it’s operational, I shall be adding the ’shop a smoker’ hotline number to my phone so I can report smokers / venues breaking the new law. “Respect mah authority!”
