        Also he is (or was) a monkey in an American zoo and since I live in the UK, why should I give a shit?

            You know what?

            There are 2 million fewer smokers in the past 17 years (since the ban was introduced) – a trend that looks like it is going to continue, and an estimated 1500 fewer heart attacks due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year, along with tens of thousands of other deaths due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year.

            Compared to the death of one fucking monkey – I am pretty happy saying it has been a success.
