SUBMISSION BY LYNN FARDELL

In response to the above, as a taxpayer and smoker I am concerned with the proposed Members Bill and the overall cost of trying to administer such a Bill. The somewhat depleted and over-worked police force is fighting a losing battle with crime in Scotland. The police are at present stretched to the limits trying to keep speeding motorists off the road, resulting in more serious crimes remaining unsolved.

This Bill would cause unnecessary irritation in the public sector and problems for businesses. As a smoker I enjoy a cigarette when on licensed premises, but of course, I respect non-smokers, as they respect my right to enjoy a cigarette.

Please lodge my objection to this Bill
