I just want to say that its marvellous to hear that these debates are taking place, it gives us smokers great hope of what might happen as a result.
The fact that the silent majority of the voiceless ones, i.e. smokers, drinkers and the ordinary punter has someone to speak up for us and put our fears and concerns across with a balanced debate at last, is just liberating.
We're all behind you guys.
Good luck Simon, they amended the smoking ban for the G20 in 2008 at the Exell. Lets hope we can return to common sense we all support you.
