The smoking ban in pubs was seen as unworkable back in the 00’s but since July ‘07 we’ve all just got on with it.
The worst thing about it was that it’s made pubs child friendly. Which has killed off many pubs.
Kids on cafes and restaurants? Yep, very good thing. In pubs? Nope, very bad...
I imagine it will be the same as the Nos balloon ban.
It’s not really taken seriously in itself but can be a good excuse to Section 35 known trouble makers out of town.
Or to build up a case against a person to get known individuals various forms of community behaviour orders.
Can be used by...
And to the police and courts for dealing with all the crimes illegal drugs generate.
And to social services dealing with all the trauma and fallout from what some people have to lower themselves to in order to get illegal drugs.
It’s endless really.
