Rupert Lowe wants to restore pub owners' right to allow or disallow smoking in their pubs, 19 years after the ban first took effect. Lowe, who is also head of Restore Britain, said that it is not a matter of health but a matter of right for the pub landlord to run their business the way they want.
'A Restore Britain Government will allow pub landlords and other venue owners to install a smoking room,' Lowe announced on X (formerly Twitter). 'If adults want to smoke inside a contained room, and the landlord is happy to provide that, then it's none of our business. Crack on.'
