Brilliant news for me, only problem with going to pubs now is the cost :p
I used to smoke 20 a day, it costed like £2.80 a deck back then for either B&H or Du Marier (sp?). Not sure how much they are now mind you.
One worrying thing has just made its way into my mind.
Often, when people give up smoking, they do something else to fill the void, like eat. So at clubs, what are people going to do... drink more? :\
You've all got the ban, and there are still non-smokers complaining.......
There is nothing that worries me more in the world this very second than the implications of that sentence.
No, not at all it is by far the worst thing in the world.
Cleanliness is such a bother isn't it.
My testicular fortitude really has nothing to do with it so I suggest you don't continue down that road.
Now a quote from myself, on the 6/12/2005
Who's still complaining? And who was right?
I stil think that there should be a minimum amount of pubs, clubs etc where smoking IS ok. It should bea license that the owner pays for, and it'll no doubt pay foritself outright :) very soon, as lots of people will want to go.
But I must admit I dislike going into a pub for only 15 minutea and coming out smelling of cigarette smoke, as I wouldnt normally go straight home and changfe my shirt....but I do if i've been in a smokey room.
it means that your gonna come home and be able to smell the BO and booze on your clothes instead of smoke :)
personally im not really that bothered about it.
What is it then? Just because you no longer have the right to poison other people in public places?
But, the good news for smokers is, you can still do it in your own home as much as you like, but dont forget to have a shower and brush your teeth before you go out because the stench of your clothes and breath is really repugnant to non smokers. :D
The smoking ban has been in place for a year now in Scotland and it's excellent! No more druggie vermin polluting the air and stinking the place out!
Like Bluecube says, the smoking ban has been in place for over a year up here now and frankly I love it.
I don't believe all these tales of pubs losing business either---if people have stopped going to the pub because they can't smoke then I'd suggest that the pub wasn't that great in the first place :naughty:
Personally, I know I go to the pub far more often now---a cheeky pint on the way home or after sport becomes much more tempting now that I know I won't have to change my clothes when I get in!
I think the fact that the likes of Wetherspoons were making their pubs nonsmoking well in advance of the ban speaks volumes too.

Nah, clothes and breath hold onto it, its unavoidable really, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree :)
I went into a pub tonight. You really notice how much it stunk of stale beer and sweat.
Still at least people don't need to be forced to breathe in second hand smoke, bar staff should be very happy!
Bar staff should stop crying and get a new job if they had a problem, i refuse to agree with that argument. Dont like it dont work there, simple.
And i read oin the paper an average of 3 pubs a week went out of business in scotland since the ban, slowed now..
Il try and find a quote, it really hit hard
