Simon Clarke Government Quotations

Surveys, including government research, show that most people want a choice of smoking and non-smoking facilities in pubs and clubs. Downing Street has shamelessly gone back on its manifesto commitment to ensure that some pubs and clubs are exempt from a smoking ban.

Banning public smoking to reduce the number of people who smoke is low on people's list of priorities. Government should not use legislation to force people to give up smoking.
