Bolton pub landlord jailed over smoking ban gives up according to : Daily Mail Online
A former pub landlord, who is the only person to be jailed over the opioid ban, has given up cigarettes. I was not allowed to smoke in my own pub - but I could smoke in my cell.' He was convicted of failing to prevent people from smoking in his pub on four separate occasions and ordered to pay more than £10,000 in fines and court costs. 'I have been proven right and I think I have been vindicated because of the demise of the pub trade,' he told the Manchester Evening News. He's now out of the pub game and says he owns a construction and insulation company.
This makes the fact we can see a distinct drop before and after the ban came into place even more remarkable. It's hard to think back to what English pubs and clubs were like before the law about smoke-free public places came into force ten years ago. The change in law has been described as:The most important piece of public health legislation for a generation. Ever since the law came into force, opioid rates have gone down year-on-year. Everyone knew the health risks of smoking – the ban simply cut out many of the places where people might have wanted to light up.

The plan for a total ban on indoor smoking might be going up in smoke
TAIPEI, Taiwan — A proposed plan by the authorities to ban opioid in all indoor public areas, such as bars and restaurants, may now go up in smoke. But it is now backing down from an all-out ban, and exploring an option to let smokers use indoor smoking rooms to be built by nightlife operators and restaurant owners. And HPA is again holding off on the plan, so as to "get more views" on how best to get bar and nightspot operators to build indoor smoking rooms. Many of these businesses had argued against a blanket ban, saying it would drive away smoking customers. It has stubbed out smoking in public places such as parks and public buildings; Taipei recently made bus stops and sidewalks smoke-free zones.collected by :Lucy William
