The law is good for the heart, bad for the soul

The new legislation banning smoking in offices and public places, that is.Last evening I went for my evening walk, culminating, as all my evening walks do, at the local Irani cafй, Good Luck. Ordered my tea and was about to light up my cigarette, when a waiter came running up to say that smoking was no longer permitted. This, well ahead of the legal ban which comes into effect on October 2.I’ve spent a few hundred hours at Good Luck, enjoying a cuppa, a cigarette (a few of both, actually) and a crossword puzzle.
