They should do really, valda, and write it into the script for a while until people get used to it. Apparently they are going to cover this subject in the Rovers in Corrie.

Is the ban a complete ban on smoking in the work place, or just a ban in pubs and restaurants?
Over here in Ireland it is a complete ban on smoking in the workplace (except for places like prisons & nursing homes)? If it is the same in England then it will mean that they won't be allowed to show proper cigarettes being smoked at all - because the EE set is someone's workplace. Herbal cigarettes are now used in smoking scenes on Irish TV.-

in eng it`s a ban on smokeing in the work place, in pub`s if they serve food,and in the hospital`s, (prison`s and nurseing home`s are exempt ) bus`es and train`s lorry`s,,( I don`t smoke but I really don`t think fair doing this). btw nice one Irish tv Herbal cig`s aren`t as bad for you Dot smoke`s them in East Ender`s I belive.

I know they are covering this in corrie that`s why I was asking as I wondered if Eastender`s and Emmerdale etc would follow doing this story too?

The only smokers among the regular characters that I can think of are Pat, Jim, Dot and Patrick - perhaps they will write a few scenes with them complaining about a ban.

Ohhhhhhhhh, I never thought about that Valda, hmmmmmmmmm, I think they might, as you say, it is the law so they would be setting a good example lol. The smoking ban affects all public places. Dot won't be pleased

hi Pearly Queen, yes, that could be an idea. yes Jonathan even though it would set a good example I can`t see Dot or Pat for that matter being pleased about it much, and moaning about haveing to go outside in all weather`s for a fag when they`ve got a drink in the queen vic , could be fun lol .

Who Do you think would cause a row with Peggy for obeying the law because they couldn`t smoke in the Vic? I think Pat would for a start.
