PUBS across Oxfordshire have been open again for almost two weeks. On April 12, pubs with outdoor areas were able to reopen for groups of no more than six. Because it has been just outside spaces open, it has raised the question of smoking at pubs. We asked readers: Do you think smoking should be banned in beer gardens? Here’s how they reacted: Emma Hunter: When the smoking ban first came in, there were hundreds of pubs closing each day. And now due to Covid, it could be happening all over again. Rowan Wright: No. Leave it to the pubs. There is very weak evidence for harm from second-hand smoke outside (so no need for concern re staff) and other than that, the market can decide (if we non-smokers want a smokeless garden, we can go to a pub with those rules).
