At six this morning smoking in public places was banned in England. This includes pubs and even private clubs. Much as I approve of the boozers I visit from now on being smoke free, I have to say I am not entirely pleased with the nanny state interfering with our lives and telling us what we can and cannot do.

No, no, old man. you are completely wrong. the smoking ban is the best thing ever. It’s not about interfering with others. It’s about stopping others interfering with you!
