Paul, I quite agree! This is somthing that is intrinsically good. It is an amazingly bold move forward for our country and today I feel confidence and pride in the Scottish Executive. Quite amazing.

Having been to both Norway and Ireland in the last few months....where smoking has been banned in public place(or a variant of this) i can only agree with Judy. It is quite strange being in non-smoky pubs and restaurants, but nice not to smell of cigarettes the next day though! Good to see the Exec taking a stand, long may it continue!
