Street drinking threat from smoking ban
SMOKERS who are forced to pop outside pubs for a puff because of the smoking ban could be breaking street drinking laws, it has been claimed.
The new ban has also created a nuisance for people living near town centre pubs, who have complained about groups of smokers congregating on the streets.
People living in the town’s historic core said their lives had been blighted by smokers noisily congregating outside neighboring pubs with drinks in hand, which could break street drinking laws.
