Comments (152) Have your say »
Rebel landlord Tony Blows is the first person to be prosecuted in the county over the country's anti-smoking laws.
Tony, who runs The Dog at Ewyas Harold, will plead not guilty.
The case has been brought by Herefordshire Council after undercover visits by officers to the pub.
He faces charges of twice failing to stop customers smoking and of smoking there himself.

What you have to ask is, can the Herefordshire tax payer afford to fund this stupid law all the way to The Europeen Court of Human Rights. because thats where it will end up. smoking a legal substance on private property CANNOT be against the law.

The council have bitten off more than they can chew with this one. This ill conceived law, an affront to civil liberties and property rights based on lies and propaganda, will be torn to shreds before a dispassionate judge.
Well done Tony for standing up where so many have rolled over.

I think they are on a hiding to nothing.
A recent report by The Heartland Institute has said that the Surgeon Generals Report of 2006 would not hold up in court.
Neither will this. When the truth comes out about how we have all been conned, Herefordshire Council will end up with an outrageous legal bill which will have to be passed on to local taxpayers.
This is a typical David (Tony) and Goliath (HC) punch up.
The smart money is on Tony to win.

From what I remember from an earlier report Mr. Blows is saying that it's a health and safety issue and his staff might get assaulted if they ask a smoker to extinguish his or herself! Does he take the same approach re drunken or rowdy behaviour in the pub? ie tell his staff not to interfere on health and safety grounds? Anyway- about the smoking issue. It will provide some amusement seeing these two parties having a go at each other over the coming weeks/months! ha ha! One other thing...what other pubs are getting done? I've seen smokers illegally smoking in the enclosed doorways of loads of pubs in Hereford.

This really is ridiculous. Seriously, can us tax payers really afford to pay to take this to the Europeen Court of Human Rights? Surely there are far better uses for the money and resources.
This discrimination against smokers is truly insane. I heard a great quote from someone the other day who said that there is a stronger case to ban diets than smoking, when you take in to account lost work days and impact to the NHS etc. At least we pay for our healthcare with the silly amount of tax put of cigarettes.
Can't we all just sit down, have a smoke and agree to get along!

What a waste of tax payers money defending some stupid law that complete denies us our civil rights. Can't even have a fag whilst driving now. Anyone else think that'll lead to an increase in road rage? I mean, come on, we're living in a nanny state. Everyone in my household smokes, and we have non smoking friends who come round and don't care. Apparently you're not allowed to smoke in our local bus station, which is adjacent to a shopping mall, but I've seen the actual bus drivers smoking by their vehicles, and nothing has been done. So why are they bending the rules for some and not for others? Why does this one man get taken to court for allowing the consumption of legal products on private property? When's the tax payer gonna stop paying for the Government's over compensating nanny state paranoia?

This is complete and utter madness. Bad enough that this antilibertarian ban exists in the first place, with all the bad feeling, lost trade, lost freedom and cost that that has caused, but now my taxpayers money has to be wasted on this going to court?!?! I pay my taxes for them to be spent wisely. Take a look at the world around you and ask, is this really necessary, is this really any kind of priority?? The smoking ban stinks and I hate the way this country has become.

A shameful waste yet again of tax payers money. Whether smoking takes place on private property is the owners and no one elses, not the smoker, not the non smoker and definitely not government. When a government starts invading your private property rights watch out loss of freedom is bound to follow. this government behave like communists denying people the right to choose what they want to do on their own private property. Personally I hope Mr Blows takes this council all the way to Europe, not because of smoking but because of PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

When will the Government realise that they have been conned by the WHO, ASH and the rest of the Anti-Smoking lobby and have passed a law that is a travesty of justice.When the Council loses this case it will be taxpayers money that will be used to cover costs. How much money has the NHS wasted on Anti-Smoking programmes when it should have been put to use fighting the c.difficile debacle that has just come to light. Lets see THEM in court, not Tony.

I tend to agree that the person in control of any given property should set the 'House Rules' and if people want to visit then they can abide by the rules. I'm just a little bit worried that if this goes the wrong way, at the end of the day, then Tony Blows will be wiped out financially.

Why should tax payers money be used to defend this stupid ban in court? It should be up to the landlords to decide whether or not to allow smoking on THEIR premises. Good luck Tony, you have a lot of support!

This whole farce is an attempt to intimidate Mr. Blows. I sincerely hope that it blows up in their faces (pardon the pun). It is time that these self appointed bigots got what is coming to them. The majority of the English public most certainly support Mr. Blows.
