Health Bill

There is a system at airports whereby smoking rooms are set aside. They are public buildings; that would not be possible any longer under the Bill. Is it being alleged that all the people outside those smoking areas are subject to such damage—or, indeed, any damage at all—as to be a serious health hazard? I deny it. I think it is verging on the fanatical in view of the actual risk, as statistically established, to argue that if you have adequate spaces for smokers which are set apart from non-smokers, as in the example I have just given, you would be causing health risks. I think it verges on the fanatical—that is my opinion.
