ANY smoking ban in East Lancs pubs would be 'impossible' and 'unworkable,' according to the head of a licensee association.
Derek Haworth, chairman of The Blackburn and DVLA, has raised concerns after a ban was given the thumbs-up in all pubs and clubs in Ireland. Health chiefs in Lancashire have also urged for a ban to be introduced as covered in The Lancashire Evening Telegraph. But Derek said: "A ban to me would be totally unworkable.
"How could you implement it. Would it involve antagonising customers"
