A ban will operate in the UK from 1st July 2007,  in all public buildings.  I work for Southeastern trains and it will be prohibited to smoke anywhere on the station.  That includes platforms and station approaches.  No more picking up fag ends hooray!!.  I see problems though trying to enforce it as lots of people smoke on the station whilst waiting for their trains and then throw the fag ends on the platform.

As a "considerate smoker", ie I always go outside and stay down wind of everybody, might a solution to the litter caused by fag ends not be reduced by providing bins.
Britain is abolutely useless at providing these, yet everyone complains about the litter. This is very noticeable when returning from the continent where the problem seems to far less, or even nil.

So we discourage people from smoking: OK, no problem. Got to get your revenue from somewhere.

If the population lives longer then more pension money will have to be paid so prepare for lots of tax increases. Its another win/win situation for the Government - LOL
