Fresh air in Ashton Lane

Congratulations on this insightful review on the smoking ban by Joe McGuire at the Glaswegian. Not only does he refer to absurdities like heart attack and child asthma admissions falling like a stone as fact rather than hotly contested hypothesis, he also finds six supporters of the ban in Ashton Lane and cites them  as some kind of demonstration that the smoking ban has won side support among Glaswegians and Scots in general.

Ashton Lane
An easier place to stop passers by than this, no more than ten minutes away:

Maryhill Road
Or perhaps Sighthill, a bit further off – one might have actually had to knock on doors: 
Sighthill
Joe might have still been told that people support the ban (who knows) but at least he would have made some effort to get to places that people find harder to get out of.
