Its been in wales for a while now. Way better environment in the clubs and bars to be honest.
I love it. Take now for instance, I have a chest infection/cold thing going on. Last night, sitting in the pub after work enjoying a few pints was bliss... walking out the door however past all the smokers left me weezing for about 10 minutes afterwards.
Makes me realise just how much crap I was forced to inhale previous to the ban. Even the smoker I was with mentioned how the pub is a nicer place.
Another plus is that the minging sticky wall residue left after smoking (disgusting) is now no longer a problem once they redecorate. No more yellowing walls and smelly upholstery, instead a nice clean environment.
Sure at the end of a working day you are going to get sweaty and there will be BO smells around, but I find BO less offensive. Plus side... at least BO isnt linked to cancer
