Outside the Western General Hospital they have a covered area, the actual purpouse of which escapes me. Its quite a large area, has a glass wall down the middle and largely just makes it more dissifult to get into the hospital.

However down the sides of this covered area they have a number of non-smoking signs, which warn you that smoke detectors have been fitted. Well, the detectors may be theyre but they certainly don’t do any good as invairably people gather directly under the non-smoking signs to smoke. I doubt the situation will be any different on Monday.

The toilet at Haymarket is where the most prominent No Smoking sign is!

I think you’re right, though. Having said above that my workplace is non-smoking, on several occasions I’ve found smoke hanging in the air in the gents.

I thought you were going to talk about people smoking in the toilets! Because when I used the toilet at Waverley Station recently it was clear that somebody had just been smoking in it. It’s like high school or something. My clothes stank for the rest of the day.

I wonder if the smoking ban is merely going to lead people to smoke in public places secretly rather than stop smoking in public places altogether…
