    Smoking Ban........noooooooo!

    8 days and counting until the smoking ban comes in all over Wales.

    The real git is that im English and the ban there doesnt come in until July.

    I've been searching the net all morning for a job back home so i can get in another 4 months smoking in up the pub

    If you smoke, smoking in the pub really is the least of your worries.

    I'm not to worry about the ban - I just think my local beer garden is going to get extra busy in the summer

    Im going to get fined and banned all over the damn place.

    Im a smoker and I will continue to smoke where I always did. It really Pi**es me off that people I dont know feel they can tell me and others what is right for us. Even my mum cant do that anymore!

    The fact that smokers areas are no longer going to be around is damn crayz. I agree people that done smoke should have somewhere smoke free, but if they have a choice why the hell dont I?

    I know the risks and that I smell, bad for me blah blah etc.... and I dont care.

    As the late Bill Hicks once said ;

    “I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your *%$^*&' mouth.”

    It really pi**es me off that people I don't know force their smoke down my throat when I pop out for a drink. It works both ways.. Not being funny with you - I agree you should have a choice, but so should I - and there's nothing stopping you popping out the back door to light up for a couple of minutes.

    [flame] Man! if people want to do it themselves that's cool - but it must stay out of enclosed areas - I smoked for 9 years, gave up when my first kid was born. I am not self riteous about it, I just don't want it near me.[/flame]

    And people like you need to try think about others, why the fook should I be forced to put up with your dirty anti social habit?

    I can't wait for the ban, it means I can go to the pub without stinking like a dead dog the next day. I can even take my little son as well.

    The reality is probably that as it gets more awkward people will consider giving up - and that's only a good thing as a whole isn't it? And if you're smoking outside then there's a (quite) large area for the smoke to disperse in
