I now enjoy going into pubs for the first time in years, I want to start a petition to ban smoking anywhere on our continent.

Agreed, i have zero sympathy for smokers on this issue, you guys say its a breach of civil liberties etc etc but at the end of the day if you want to do something hazardous to innocent people's health then do it where you arnt going to affect us.

Basically everyone (bar maybe 2) in my office smokes, and they all agreed yesterday that they all want to smoke but massively appreciate the smoking ban as they now smoke less than a third than they used to.

The ban has made pubs much better in my view. I can nip in for a pint on the way home and not need to wash all my clothes.
BUT
I don't like seeing blanket bans on anything because one day it will be something I like doing.......There should have been an option to include proper segregated smoking rooms in pubs. You buy your pint and if you so choose take it to a smoking room. Seems a better idea than having people out of the street throwing fag ends about. Karma

Eh, even being an ex smoker (6ish years, I try not to think about it Smile

), I didn' agree with the ban. Pubs and resturants should have been allowed to make the choice themselves depending on staff and customer preferences. I personally still miss the old smoky pub, it was just a nice part of the atmosphere.

Throw in subsidies for pubs that do enforce no smoking and I'm pretty sure you'd get a good even spread of both in no time. As for workplaces, I fail to see what was wrong with the old smoking rooms that many offices had. Confused

Why do people bother with the Gov petitions site, do they really think it will make any diffrence, all they are doing is harvesting your emails and selling them to spammers... Rolling Eyes

I think what a hell of a lot of people fail to grasp is that the law was brought in to prevent health issues for people WORKING in the venues and NOT the patrons.

You'll find a lot of non smokers now stand outside because all their smoking friends are outside.

I really don't see what the issue was with smoking rooms in company offices, quite a few places I've worked at had them, now the smokers bitch about having to go outside and the non-smokers bitch about having to walk through a cloud of smoke.

I hate smoking and am glad it's not allowed in pubs. I do on the other hand think it's unfair on them, they should have smoking rooms rather than non smoking ones.

Hey guess what I smoke and think the ban is good! nothing worse than trying to eat your meal while being surrounded by smoke and polluting non smokers lungs, I smoke in my own home and don't when I go out and I don't do pubs anyway. I only poison my own body thanks. Thumbs Up
