All Bar One is a trendy bar. Trendy bars will not be affected very much by the smoking ban as people go there because they are the places to "be seen" in.

The pubs that suffer are the more traditional pubs which until recently were like an extension of people's living rooms. People can smoke in their living rooms. If they can't smoke in the pub they will return to their living rooms and will take their non-smoking friends with them.

This smoking ban is out of order, un-necessary and an example of Nazism.

#1 Get a grip! An "example of Nazism"? You cheapen your argument by throwing phrases like that around.

#2- Distasteful though it sounds, technically he's correct. Hitler was a diehard anti-smoking crusader. The Reichstadt imposed the world's most comprehensive suite of tobacco regulations, which included bans on cigarette smoking in workplaces, public buildings, and transit systems. Hitler's goal was a "secure and sanitary utopia".The anti-smoking campaign was one instance of the Nazi campaign for"racial and bodily purity". In March 1942, Hitler went so far as to attribute his success to nonsmoking:

"I am convinced that if I had been a smoker, I never would have been able to bear the cares and anxieties which have been a burden to me for so long. Perhaps the German people owe its salvation to that fact."

The results? Smoking rates actually increased 50% in Germany between 1932-39,while staying stable next door in France during the same period.

Seems like a dangerous path to follow to me.
