Chris Maclean: smoke ban quiz!

The smoking ban is only days away and pubs are thinking of ways to mark the passing. Here there is a smoking dinner on Saturday night. Elsewhere I've heard of various initiatives. One licensee is having a smoking sing-a-long which sounds ghastly. But if he can make it work so much the better.

Yesterday I put together a quiz which I thought I'd share here. Good luck!
