Well, I feel very sorry for the bar and restaurant businesses here at the moment. As if the financial climate weren't enough, now there are even less customers due to the time of year. What a stupid time to activate the ban. I'm a smoker, agree with not smoking in restaurants but would normally go to bars and out to eat in all weathers but there's absolutely no point while this cold and wind is around if I've got to freeze to death in a 2-sided awning. I doubt very much that the non-smokers will have made up the trade for these guys....and it's not their fault! Very sad.
