Smoking ban review more popular than gay marriage proposal!

AWT's petition continues to attract support.

Earlier today signatures reached 2,000 and the petition is currently #4 in the Department of Health list and #44 in the overall list. (Update: make that #43. It's just overtaken 'Legalise Gay Marriage'!)

The initial burst of enthusiasm will inevitably subside but, as I keep saying, we're in this for the long haul.

Meanwhile, thanks to the following bloggers who have added their support in recent days:

Anonymong
Joshua Lachkovic's Blog
Mark Wadsworth

If there are any more you can add them in the comments. (See also last week's posts for other supportive blogs.)

I promise I won't write about the petition again – well, not for a week or two at least. We will however do another round of e-bulletins next week to hoover up anyone who has returned from holiday unaware of AWT's petition.

Mark Littlewood, director-general of the Institute of Economic Affairs, has just posted a link to the petition on Facebook. If you have a Facebook account it would be a great help if you could do the same.
