West Midlands UKIP MEP, Mike Nattrass, has launched a major campaign for designated smoking rooms to be reintroduced in public houses to boost the struggling pub industry. The UKIP MEP said the introduction of the smoking ban in pubs on July 1 2007 has had a disastrous impact on the nations pub industry. With thousands of pubs permanently calling time since the ban.

I notice that a couple of the big Conservative blogs, Dizzy and Iain Dale, have clambered aboard a campaign to amend the smoking ban. The argument is that current legislation is too inflexible and provision should be made for certain exemptions. There is an implication that pubs and clubs especially might choose to operate outside the ban, in order to lure back lost customers.This type of thinking is obviously attractive to the libertarian strand of Conservatism.

Further to my post on Monday, Conservative Home reports that "58% of Tory members support relaxation of smoking ban". Editor Tim Montgomerie writes: 58% of the 1,493 Tory members who voted in Conservative Home's end-July survey of opinion agreed with the contention that 'the Conservatives should relax the smoking ban so that pubs, restaurants and private clubs can apply to allow smoking on their premises'. 39% disagreed. The figures for Conservative voters are similar: 55% to 40%. |
