Perry – Almost Two weeks later…
All most two weeks later I fly into London City Airport from Schiphol Airport in Holland. The first billboard I see reads Welcome to Smoke Free England, today is a monumental day – the 1st July 2007, and the ban on smoking in all public places comes into effect. It is now illegal to smoke in bars, restaurants, taxis, offices in fact any public place.
Also today a six minute cut of Smoke Swap re-titled Super Smoke Me is live on Current TV.It will also be shown on their website.You can view it here…
I call Kate and we arrange to meet up in the West End of London to have a celebratory drink in the new smoke free environment. We are both now Ex-smokers!
A few hours later we meet up but due to a number of factors out of our control, we can’t find a bar open to have a drink in – It’s almost 11pm on a Sunday, is it the recent terrorist attacks or is it because of the smoking ban?
We head over to the East End. You can always get a drink there no matter what time of the day or night.
We end up in a the 333 club and watch some people who are so defiant of the ban they pathetically hide away and smoke so as not to get caught by security. I feel sorry for them behaving in such a way. They’re not rebels, they’re not rock ‘n’ roll and they are certainly not cool. They look like silly little boys who are dependent, enslaved to an unfashionable and dieing habit.
