Sorry SPUGGIE J but your home is always a private residence even when you invite a non-resident in.

It only becomes a public place when anyone can just walk in without your invitation. So technically a burglar could break in and tell you to put your fag out.

All WORK PLACES are deemed to be public places Less and that includes vehicles if they are used in pursuance of a job. Thus HGV drivers and white van man etc will be breaking the law if s/he lights up whilst in the vehicle.

How long before someone works out that a private residence where one spouse stays at home to do housewifey things is technically a work place for that spouse and thus smoking would be banned?
