Don't really know where to start with your post. Expressing yourself in better English might help.
Were you seriously suggesting that the town's demise is down to changes in the law on alcohol and tobacco? What about loss of jobs in factories and mills? The downward progress has been going on for a lot longer than the concerns about booze and fags. Are you suggesting we should all be smoking and drinking to excess to keep the town on its feet?
And please explain how alcohol abuse only affects the working class guy.
The smoking ban was a very good thing - people who want to indulge in this filthy habit can still do so but those of us who find it abhorrent don't have to suffer the effects on our health or our clothes and environment.
