On and off from teens, never consistently smoked but properly gave up 10 years ago.
Remember visiting Frankfurt a few years back and walked into a boozer where smoking was still allowed, literally couldn’t believe how bad it was! I practically grew up in the local social club where you struggled to see the end of the snooker table due to the smoke.
Definitely the right choice to ban it in public places, couldn’t imagine taking my kids to a pub now that still had smoking in.
