As the Act of Parliament only applies to " enclosed or substantially enclosed" areas and defines such areas, I fail to see how on earth the open concourse behind the Clayton end, for example, cannot be exempted as are areas behind pubs. The failure to have a pass-out system beyond the turnstiles is even more baffling and surely could be adjudged within the law if there was a will to make it happen. Speaking as a confirmed non-smoker of many years I can't understand this persecution of a significant minority who we can't afford to alienate. I just don't think the jobsworths should be allowed to get away with this, or am I missing something?
Very puzzling.
