Today is a tumultuous one in terms of Scots life with the smoking ban in pubs and clubs coming into play. The practice of coming in from a night in either honking of smoke is likely to be a thing of the past although it'll be weird being in The Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow and there not being a smoke haze. However, running the gauntlet of puffers outside of such establishments might result in the odd waft or seven adhering to your garments as you scuttle past wearing oxygen equipent. Or those masks that japanese people wear to keep out the petrol fumes and day to day guffs that go around. It’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out. Most probably in fisticuffs but if it can work in NY and Ireland then who knows.

From what I've encountered, it doesn't work in New York.

Really? Well maybe they need to get a team of enforcers in. Like they're apparently gonna do here. Although the prospect of wading into a pack of pissed up alchopoppers doesn't seem like a terribly positive prospect. Talking on a mobile phone whilst driving is allegedly prohibited but I counted ten instances within a 20 minute journey recently. I have nothing against smoking but I hate to come home reeking. It'll also be good for singers who don't want to sound like Rod Stewart.
