smoking ban
beast5680:
in light of new government legislation will the mud-club bar be a smoke free zone as well :lol: and will there be a smoking area outside :lol:
TDi90:
BRING ON THE SMOKING BAN - it cant come soon enough. im fed up of people who smoke while im trying to eat, and have a drink in a bar smoke smoke smoke ruining my healthy sporty lungs and hurts my eyes.
outside is fine, do as they wish each to their own, but in a public place... how SELFISH.
*puts the soap box down and carries on reivsing*

Hang on a minute! You're a student! You aren't healthy. You all eat Pot Noodles and Wotsits, and share pints of Cider through half a dozen straws!
As one who is soon to be made an outlaw, I would just like to add that I only smoke in a bar if someone else is smoking. I don't smoke where people are eating, that is just rank and very bad mannered.
Fair comment about the ban in pubs, clubs and so far. But banning me from smoking in my own car? They can shove that one!
Anyway a little thought for you.
Winston Churchill consumed large amounts of Brandy, smoked big cigars and managed to be a great leader of this country, and live to a decent age.
Adolf Hitler, teetotal, vegatarian, non smoker, all round nasty bloke with a bad temper and a bad taste in facial hair, genocidal tendencies, did NOT manage to become a leader of this country, and thankfully popped his clogs fairly early on in life!

well here goes. i gave up smoking last year. its now 1 year and 1 month almost to the day that i stopped..... cold turkey.
now i gave up because i wanted to and because of all the talk going on about banning smoking here. i wasnt going to let someone dictate to me where and when i could smoke :evil: . i knew that if i couldnt have a smoke with my pint i would end up not going out at all. i was smoking up to 40 a day with no ill effects, i know that i would of ended up with ill effects in the end but at the time i didnt have any.
now here is my little rant....... although i am a non smoker now, i dont agree with any of this law that is coming in now.... there has MOSTLY been a happy medium for years now ....smoking area's and non smoking area's. now this was in most places that were public...... ( ok maybe not nightclubs ) .... now this was fair..... both sides were catered for......not anymore though.... we are now heading for a society that you cant do anything that may possibly not be good for you :evil: :evil:
i agree that non smokers have a right to not breath the smoke of smokers but didnt they have non smoking places???? :? :? :?
and thats from a non smoker who's misses still smokes

Happy medium...?
As a character from the Royle Family was want to comment "My rude word referring to rear end!"
Maybe.... maybe I'll agree regarding restaurants... assuming you ignore the ones where the smoke drifts into the no smoking area or where the management do not enforce their own policies.
I can't even come close to agreeing that pubs catered for non-smokers... both here in Warwickshire and back home in Glasgow (now thankfully smoke free!) the pubs I have experienced do not provide a place for me to be without the smoke of others, without having to walk through a smoking area on the way to or from the bar.
The fact that some establishments had non-smoking areas (the minimum required to satisfy whatever legislation) simply gave smokers a reason not to feel guilty.
Now in the main I've bitten my tongue all these years (except when cancerous fume spouting people insist on smoking where they shouldn't) but I'm afraid that ends now.
As far as I'm concerned the world is starting to see some sense... finally a personal habit that causes illness and death will no longer be foisted upon me. For years society has been incredibly selfish.
The day when smokers can keep their smoke, exhaled or otherwise, within their own personal zone, I'll happy let them smoke wherever they can. Until then, if you ask me "do you mind if I smoke?" the answer you'll get is... "No... do you mind if I phart in your face?"
