Appeasement Never Works With Obsessives

Here's something for pub industry 'strategists' who thought it wise not to object too much to the smoking ban. After all, just a little effort and smokers could still use their tasteful pub gardens, couldn't they?

Meanwhile campaigning charity ASH (Action on Smoking and Health), says an outdoor smoking ban would be beneficial in some areas in the UK. 

A spokesperson has told Yahoo! News there was 'some evidence' that exposure to tobacco smoke outdoors may adversely affect people who are exposed to smoke on a regular basis. For example, in pubs or restaurants where staff are frequently passing by or through tobacco smoke when serving people outdoors.

That'll be just about all of them, then.

Some of us did try to warn that this was always destined to be the next logical step. Appeasement is listed in the health obsessed dictionary as another name for 'victory'.
