Even worse - the powers that be have announced that they are not considering stopping smoking in private houses - yet.

Also, like many other daft ideas of this daft government, virtually unworkable. How far away from a bus stop do you need to stand if you want a fag? Can you get nicked for walking down the street with a fag in your hand because you are passing the doorways of offices? Or is it alright if you keep walking?

If they really want to stop people smoking, then ban tobacco. But they like the revenue that smokers bring in, don't they. If they made it illegal, the government would lose something like £12 million a day minimum.

Oh, and of course there is the lunatic thing that prisoners can smoke whilst banged up, despite the fact that prisons are workplaces for many people - can't infringe the poor little dears' human rights, can we?

It's all gone mad.
