Brian it is great to see that Baypark has or going to introduce no smoking at their venue. The one that really gets me and I suspect many other people is when you go to a mall type shopping complex, eg Bayfair and the smokers know they are not allowed to smoke inside but they sit right outside the doors of the complex and smoke.
The result is that everyone who enters the complex has to pass through the smoke screen. I know that smokers have problems with stopping but surely in this day and age they should be realising they are on the outer. To help their own cause if they moved well away from where people need to walk etc less grumbles would be heard. To the smokers think carefully I lost my father to smoking. He was 52 and smoked well in excess of 60 or more cigarettes a day. He would be called a chain smoker. I also believe my mother lung cancer was caused from the passive smoke.
