As a frequent visitor and occasional resident of Brighton, I would like to add my voice to the debate about the proposed smoking ban in Brighton.

When it clamps down on smoking in public places on the grounds it is a health hazard, will Brighton and Hove City Council also propose a similar ban on the consumption of alcohol?

Will they also ban the air polluting internal combustion engine? The incineration of public rubbish?

Swimming in the polluted seas off Brighton beach? The ingestion of life threatening drugs?

The noise pollution caused by over-loud train claxons? Jets approaching Gatwick?

Where will it all end?
