Smoking ban - your thoughts?

[killa]

I hate that quote, load of shite….

Anyways, how are you meant to speak up and defend against a drug which kills thousands a year?
Like paedophilia, you might enjoy it, but dam is it wrong……

A comment I read elsewhere:

"Having a smoking area in a pub is like having a pissing area in a swimming pool."

Made me laugh, that did.

Hi

I don't smoke, but I am against the ban. There are perfectly workable solutions (such as seperate smoking rooms). Nothing stopping licensing rules insisting on at least one non smoking bar in a licensed pub.

People should be free to smoke (just as they should be free not to smoke). If people choose to kill themselves off early by smoking (paying massive taxes in the process and saving us a fortune in pensions) then that is fine by me.

Just another ban aimed at a large minority of the population.

And yes I was against the ban on hand guns. Stuff all good that the ban did.

Hmmm, this is going to put alot of pubs out of buisness i think. I smoke like a trooper when im drinking, as Nighteyes has told me.

Looks like the local bargin booze will be getting all my buisness now.

Personally i think that places not serving food should be able to welcome smokers.

As a smoker myself i cannot stand to eat if someone is smoking around me and have either asked them to stop or taken it off them and put it out myself before.

Before this smoking ban came to light how much did we hear about it on the news ? how many people were signing petitions to stop smoking ? i honestly cant remember anything being mentioned about it.

This is the bloody foreign gits trying to rub a bit of them off on us

personally i dont care about all the new rules - i'll work round them. But what im bothered about is what is it going to be like for our kids and there kids and there kids kids ???

This country is slowly going to pot and its the future generations that are going to suffer i think.

Don't know if it's been brought up yet.

But think of how pubs and clubs will smell without fags, body odour, bad breath and cheap aftershave. Fags cover the lot up.

Against the ban.

I don't smoke but have got used to peeps doing it around me so I'm not that bothered either way.

Not too bothered about the ban apart from the private clubs bit! It's a private club, I go to the Perry Street club every week to play in the skittles tournament and 90% of people there smoke, both the landlords smoke, it wouldn't be the perry street without the fog of smoke.

Let the private clubs have their say and their own rules on cigarettes.

House parties it is then. In the summer with a beer garden it won't be a problem. But in the winter. Pubs will be dead. Landlords of small pubs will suffer, if not lose their jobs.

IMO they f***ed up.

If I had the money I'd buy an off-licence because they'll make a killing.

Anyother w@nkers want to tell me how to live my life and what I can and can't do?

I don't remember a public vote on this.

Like I said earlier, 'speak easys'. Smokers/landlords will find a way around it. Smaller pubs will probably let you smoke anyway. Either that or close.

Wonder if the ban will last?

What makes me laugh is you can give beer to violent drunks in glass containers and glass can be lethal. Let's face it every bottle/glass in a pub is a weapon. But you can't have a smoke because somebody might cough.

Well at least we still have 18 months to smoke in them.

This country is turning to sh1t.

(I notice Australia have relaxed their migration laws. *Looks in to life out there*)

Hi

Read it next week. All foods containing nuts banned from public sale as someone with a fatal nut allergy might come into contact with them.

All the best

Hi,

I am against the ban, I do belive a landlord should be able to ban smoking in all or some of his pub.

If enough non smokers want this then it will happen as an economic necessity, I avoid restaurants that are not all non smoking as I hate smoke when I am eating. I also do not allow smoking in my house. However I do not expect all restaurants to cater for me.

I am with Sadie and Keith on this one.. the thin end of wedge.


Regards
C

I read in the paper that this outright ban has one exception, THE BAR AT THE HOUSE OF COMMANS!

SO we will not be able to smoke in a club or bar but the wankers in the house of commans CAN, hardly seems fair.

Personally an outright isn't the answer, many pub landlords will probably sell up, it beats going bust.
