Then employ smoking barmaids to serve the smokers.

I'm very much in favour of this ban. For one thing my husband is a bar manager and asthmatic so it will help his health. On Valentine's Day we went to a pub intending to have a meal but it was so smokey (cigar smoke in particular) that we didn't bother. We will be much more likely to visit pubs after this ban.

Yeah, god forbid we should have clean lungs. How awful that smokers will have to kill themselves in private!

Lemon eye must smoke cos he seems to think its ok for him to do as he pleases but its not ok for non smokers to have clean air.

If you dont like it go and live in a third world company where cigs are dirt cheap.

I do not like being in a smoke environment at all!

I have to admit I have often felt irritated by the smokers at work who seem to have a god given right to tae a "fag break", because they can't function without a nicotine hit. Yet non smokers, like me, don't seem to have a "contemplate my navel break" when we like. We just get the pleaure of holding the fort for the smokers.

Exactly! If I was an alcoholic, would I be allowed to go outside for ten minutes every hour and down vodka?

StrollingMinstrel · « **Reply #36 on:** February 17, 2006, 10:16:45 pm »

Now, that seems like a fairly good idea! Certainly end my day on a 'high' note!

Not only am i a non smoker, but i am also NOT a bandwagon jumper.

Neither am i beguiled by Tony Blair. God knows what you lot will do when Brown takes charge.

As for 3rd World companies - i am not sure i know what you mean. 3rd world countries - and why dont i move there - what a ridiculous thing to say!

Smurfboy - i thought you out of any of the posters on here would be in favour of a live and let live policy and not judging lifestyle choices. Non smokers are free to use no smoking areas as smokers would or could be invited to use designated smoking areas.

I trust all of you have paid in advance for your ID cards and have dna samples ready and waiting?

The levels of nonsense on this forum have reached epic proportions.

in case weve all forgotten - WHAT PUBS ARE FOR:

drinking, smoking, pinball, pool-table, darts, raffles and annopying staff.

if you dont want to do at least 2 of these things, then you really should go to a coffee bar instead.

i dont smoke, but banning smoking in a pub is f'n ridiculous. screw it - ban drinking while your at it! bring back prohibition! its as mad as letting kids IN pubs!

Well said that man!

Sadly, the blinkered majority on here want all pubs to be just like Central Perk ( i think that is what the coffee shop in Friends is called)

Also, Land re-apportionment, re-nationalisation, and a highly disciplined army are on the agenda...

I think my idea was the best. A smoking area with smoking barmaids.

wjp666 · « **Reply #41 on:** February 18, 2006, 12:51:56 am »

onto a more sensitive point - BAN ALL KIDS FROM ALL PUBS! no exception!

loulou · « **Reply #42 on:** February 18, 2006, 12:54:35 am »

Yes I hate those play areas in pubs for screaming kids.

wjp666 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2006, 12:59:03 am »

or those dads (on their visit day) who take their kids to the pub for a half-a-coke and to clutter up the pool table for hours! ugh!

loulou · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2006, 01:13:03 am »

I think that's a bad example to set your kids taking them to the pub .
