Anti-social snackers

FOLLOWING the successful ban on smoking in public to protect people from the threats posed by passive smoking, can we not stop other sorts of anti-social behaviour?

People should not be allowed to eat and drink on the hoof in buses and shops, smearing everything with their greasy fingers. There should be mobile-phone free zones in public places, though I must admit I once went two stops past my destination to listen to the end of one young lady’s account of her night out.
