Is this a wind up?

There was something on the local news a couple of weeks ago about a pub where people had been smoking outside, but the neighbours had complained about the smell of smoke drifting across their gardens  :roll:

Now, I'm not a great fan of second hand smoke myself, but for goodness sake! Some people need to get a life!

Smego:
Anyone smokes near me indoors will get a smack in the mouth!

Skibum346:
So a well cordened off area in a pub is a good idea...? What about the rights of workers not to work in a smoke polluted atmosphere...?

 :roll:

Terranosaurus:
In my experience many bar workers smoke themselves anyway.

Personally I think they should have let market forces sort it out. If there is a true demand for smoke free pubs then the market would have provided them as it was starting to and likewise if there is a true demand for smoking pubs the market would have kept them or had separate rooms etc. Staff would be free to choose to work at whichever type they wish but there would have to be some protection for them so that if you started working for a smoke free place it couldn't suddenly change to smoking unless the staff agreed - too late now...never mind I gave up almost 12 months ago.

To answer (in a more polite style than the question was asked  :wink: ), I've seen ale-houses overseas where smokers had their own petitioned areas (typically double glazed), seperate from, but looking into, the bar. No smoke in the bar - cozy snug for smokers. The way forward. Bar staff don't get smoked out, the smokers have their own parties. Quite often being joined by non-smokers because they appreared to be having a good time!

So yes, a well cordoned off area is a good idea, IMHO.

Hope that helps.
