Dear LPG,

I read and particularly agreed with the last paragraph of your news article dated 19^th April this year which encouraged older people to do what they want to do when they want to do it, and I completely agree with that doctrine.

My main focus is on popping off on holiday to far-flung places around the world for as long as I can.   I have other two passions.  I admit to being a bit of a compulsive Googler and I also have always had a serious dislike for the habit of smoking.

Through my life I have never ever smoked but, I remember coming home from work with the smell of tobacco in my hair and on my clothes back in the 1960s. 

I know that I should have sent this to be published last July 1^st as it was the tenth anniversary of the day that it became illegal to smoke in any indoor public place in England.  I remember seeing people the following winter, and for many winters after, standing outside office and shop doorways, often in the snow just to enjoy a quick puff ,and I did feel sorry for them. But the amount of people that do that now has decreased, which is a good thing

But back to my other two passions.  I mentioned that I like to jet off and I find it quite valuable to find out what the smoking habits of my destination are.  So while I was browsing I found the website that I hope LPG will share just in case there are any other non-smoking, computer savvy, holiday explorers that may be interested.

LPG hopes that the information that NS has to offer will be valuable to all our globe-trotting readers.
