I see that doctors are so pleased with their blanket smoking ban they?ve already started the next ?big one? to ban alcohol.  point:

Quote from: BBC Web Site
Doctors are calling for stricter alcohol laws in a bid to reduce the number of alcohol-related deaths.

There really will need to be some civil disobedience if this incessant muddling in our lives is to be stopped. No smoking ? too dangerous, no booze next ? too dangerous, can?t advertise eggs ? too dangerous.

You can see what the future holds ? the nanny state controlling every tine aspect of our lives ? health police in the supermarket checking your trolley contents to make sure you have a healthy balance.

These will be the doctors who, as a professional group, statistically have a larger number of Drug Abusers, Alcoholics and Cigarette Smokers than any other single group in the UK will it?

BTW Police ~ as a group ~ have more Domestic Abusers than any other Group and Retained (ie Part Time) Fireman have more Arsonists than any other single group.

Still ~ That's life innit!

They already have in effect.  There are drinking exclusion zones in most outdoor areas and smoking bans in most indoor areas.
