      The only people who talk positively about bringing indoor smoking back are smokers and pub owners, and they’re in the minority.

      You and I do not remotely represent the vast majority of people in any way shape or form. No one here does.

        We are not the majority, my friend. This is one of those things where you really need to take “trust me bro" as the best double blind study you’re gonna get. Your question is the best data I can give.

          I meant the claim that most people want to bring back indoor smoking. I’m assuming you have nothing more than “trust me bro” for that too.
