Rejected petition Scrap The Smoking Ban

More details

The smoking ban should be scraped all together, it was a bad idea at the start and now our pubs smell like stale beer and body odour , war veterains forced to stand outside in the dead of winter to smoke, whatever happened to the people's right to choose ? The people's right to smoke wherever they like providing the owner of the property gives permission, too many pubs have fallen short as customers decide to stay at home rather than stand outside the pub , it was and is a ludicrous ban and it should be scrapped for the good of the British people
