Just as a matter of interest to anybody planning a trip to England.......as from July 1st 2007...there will be no smoking in ANY public places .... that includes..hotels.bars,pubs,clubs,workplaces,cinema s, and taxi cabs ...etc,ect...!...as an ex smoker myself it won't bother me, in fact I will be quite relieved..no more smokey atmospheres in pubs and restaurants......but it will be very hard for people who do not want to give it up. Apparently there will be a fine of £50 on the spot...about $100...or...£200 $400..if taken to court!.....I really can't see how they can police this ....it will cause quite a lot of problems I think....ah well it will be interesting to see how the public will react!
