The new smoking ban in England came into effect on Sunday 1st July 2007 and now it is illegal to smoke in public buildings and workplaces.

Now a lot of businesses, pubs and restaurants worried about loosing trade have been building semi-enclosed outside areas complete with electric or gas heaters where smokers can go in order to combat this.

Considering how our Government is urging us all to cut down on energy usage and reduce carbon omissions haven’t they just added to the problem?

By kicking the poor old smoker outside we now have many thousands more heaters trying to keep the smoking areas warm creating unnecessary green house gases.

I bet they never thought about that when they introduced it.
