Thousands to police smoking ban

Up here in Scotland the smoking ban has been running for nearly a year now and with little or no requirement for this type of heavy-handed enforcement. Apparently

"In Scotland, there have been just 11 fixed penalty notices issued to premises in the last 10 months, with many councils having issued none at all."

The ban rolled in and people who smoked retired to the glorious outdoors making it both safer for us, the non-smokers, and getting the smokers outside for a decent breath of fresh air.

Most smokers now hanging about outside in their little shelters appear like lepers of the olden days but without the "Lepers Window" they used to have in places like churches.
