Rejected petition Reverse the Smoking Ban in British Pubs

More details

The ban on smoking is a fundamental breach of our freedoms and liberties. I petition the government to reverse this piece of legislation which is closing pubs across this country every week. Whether an individual wishes to smoke in the back bar of a pub or not is their choice, not the job of government to decide for them.
