OK, I've BOTHERED to do some research. The over 60 age group is the group with the
least prevelance of smoking. Indeed, only about 12.5% of over 60s smoke, compared to 25% of the general population. That means that 87.5% don't smoke, and have the right to socialise in a smoke free environment. Point proven. I'll refrain from calling you a prat, though. Thank you.
