I had to smile after reading Sally King's column: Can't we go back to how it was before smoking ban? (Aug 16).

I am an ex-smoker, but not one of those that I had always referred to as a reformed smoker.

I reckon she is probably right, and do I guess she was in the first instance in favour of the ban?

How many others are now agreeing with her.

It will never go back I am sure, but what a turnabout if it ever did.
