Publicans call for amendment to smoking ban
Meeting demands smoking rooms be allowed
Pub owners and landlords in Luton called for a change to the smoking ban in a bid to halt the increasing number of pubs being forced to permanently call time at the bar.
Representatives from the Amend The Smoking Ban campaign demonstrated their support for a change in the current smoking laws at the monthly meeting of the Luton Licensed Victuallers Association at The Bramingham Pub, in Quantock Rise.
The campaign is the first pro-smoking initiative to gather cross-party political support and has been supported by TV chef Antony Worral Thompson and artist David Hockney.
The aim of the campaign is not to completely repeal the ban, but to allow licensees the option to have a smoking room on site rather than smokers having to stand on the street.
