I heard yesterday from an Irish resident that soon after the smoking ban came into force in Ireland, sales of deodorant went up. Apparently the smell of cigarette smoke was masking the smell of body odour and when people couldn't smoke any more the B O smell became really noticeable.

Was this the case in Wales and Scotland?

Perhaps managers of public places in England should be placing their orders now before stocks run out?

Crim,

Your spot on regarding the smell of BO after the smoking ban, I'm from Glasgow and i noticed it in the night clubs especially, nearly enough to put you of your beer, not quite though.

And another spin off of forcing smokers outside is the increase in sales of patio heaters - condemned by everyone as contributing greatly to global warming via unnecessary burning of hydrocarbons.

So, we can sniff each others armpits whilst wading through the floods :-(

And another 'unexpected' result is the increase in exposure of children to second-hand smoke. Parents who smoke - who used to go to the pub - now stay home (and smoke MORE apparently)thus jeopardising the future health of their offspring.

Ain't life wunnerful
