Ah, but do smoking cessation programs = no smoking in pubs? I'm not sure they do.
100% in support of getting people to stop smoking, but my impression of the smoking ban is that people aren't necessarily If the pub closes and people sit at home smoking and drinking instead I don't see that helps.
What I don't like about the smoking ban in pubs is it's so pushy. It's not about persuading people to take adult decisions for themselves and their families, it's about pushing people about, and I just am not quite comfortable with that.
