Not good

Surely a little more info could be given, has there been a decline over the past year in numbers of people staying at hotels etc? How about business at restaurants etc?

It's on the pbs. Or she could not. I also smoked through my pregnancy with twins. The best quit effort I ever achieved was 8 days. I smoked daily for 32 years and when I received my first nicotine vape, I quit withing 3 days. That was on the 7th October 2013 and I haven't had or wanted a smoke since.
