Anti-smoke alarm

Date:

Share post:

THE PUBLIC SMOKING BAN may be great news for the anti-smoking people, but I operate a small bar in Carrington Village and a lot of my regulars blue vex.

In fact, some of them have already told me that they ain’t coming back. This smoking ban is going to hurt a lot of small people like me.

I thought that in these tough times, with jobs hard to find and money tight, the Government would be doing everything possible to help small business people like me.

If I lose my regulars completely, I certainly will be unable to keep the three people I bring in to help me out on Fridays and Saturdays – my busiest days.
