Employers have a general duty under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work.
Allowing smoking in public places is stoping people earning an honest living in an environment which wont damage their health.
Yes its your choice and right to poison your own lungs but why should you have you got the right to poison others? Everyone should have the right to breathe clean unpolluted air. I dont want to breath in poisonous smoke, or wake up stinking like an ashtray but why should I stay in my house just because you do?
Standing next to someone drinking alcohol wont affect your health - standing next to a smoker WILL.
Roll on the 26th of March when Smoking is banned in public places in up here in Scotland
