Granddad had a good old rant about the government targetting smoking (they obviously haven’t read [tag]The Tipping Point[/tag]). I’m agreed with him on most of his argument but I question this one:
First they introduced the ban on [tag]smoking[/tag] in public places. Pubs are now closing at the rate of one a day. The government won’t admit this - they put it down to other factors, but the publicans say that it is a major factor.
