That's the homosexuals (both sexes), the non-native Brits, the disabled and assorted religious groups all stuffed then.

Genuine studies vary from showing a benefit to showing harm, and they average out as showing no effect. This of course is because any study involves sampling, and thus random error. Of course one of the principal frauds employed is to ignore those studies which do not show harm. Secondly, no-one is obliged to go to a pub orto work in one- so anyone who dislikes smoke for any reason has an alternative. Indeed if there are as many as suggested then there would be no need for a smoking ban, the pubs would ban it themselves in order to save their trade. An example of someone who has failed to convince the people of his point of view even by the use of lies and seeks to bully people to get his own way.

We should disregard this merely for the idea of particularly banning something already banned. Away to the Grammar Gulag with them! “Smoking should be banned in cars, and particularly any vehicle with children in it.”
