One of the most confronting things about living in England is that smoking is still permitted pretty much everywhere - in restaurants, shopping centres and, of course, in Ye Olde Poorlye Ventilated pubs.
Coming from Melbourne, where smoking was banned in restaurants and cafes years ago, seeing an ashtray on a restaurant table in Brixton was actually quite a shock.
In Ireland and Scotland, they've banned smoking in all public places, and England is set to follow suit next year, with bans for all pubs restaurants, train stations and workplaces... unless you happen to work in certain key industries where smoking is, apparently, still okay...adult care homes, hospices, prisons ... and submarines. Go figure.
