SMOKING BAN DRIVES PEOPLE OUT OF IRELAND!

 

20 years after moving from France to Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, Paul Chatenoud has had enough. He's off - back to France - and all because of what he views as the draconian enforcement of the Smoking ban in the Republic. 

 

With a maximum fine of €3,000,  the freedom to smoke has...gone up in smoke!

A lorry driver is forbidden to smoke in his cab, even when alone! Worst of all, every establishment has to have a sign stating the name of the person to whom a complaint about smoking can be made; in short, Irish citizens are actually invited to inform on their neighbours. It's enough to drive you to drink.
