Hey guys!

First of all, sorry for not being on much in the last few days. I am actually in the UK until this evening and this was something that I have to reply to.

Living in Ireland now, I take it for granted that we can go into pubs/restaurants and have a drink or a meal in a clean surrounding. Since coming to the UK, I've realised how thankful I am of the smoking ban we have in Ireland.

It is disgusting to come into a public place and, despite there being non-smoking areas, have to sit somewhere that feels like a giant ash tray. It makes me sick now and I think once the smoking-ban comes into full effect here the majority of people will be more than happy with it.
