As a long-reformed ex smoker, I still think more compromises should have been made in the smoking ban. Nonsmoking could have been restricted to pubs' busiest times. Recently, I was having a meal in a pub when a elderly gentleman nearby asked if I minded if he smoked his pipe while I ate.
"Not at all," I replied. "As long as you don't mind if I pass wind."
His pipe quickly disappeared into his pocket.
Everyone was happy. We had a smoke and flatulence-free enjoyable evening. The wonders of compromise.
