bad example indeed! 'hey, sprogs, this is your future!'

any pub that sells panda-pops with straws should be burnt down.

Lemoneye - re non-smokers using non-smoking areas. That's all very well except the smoke drifts into the non-smoking areas. Also, smokers often ignore this rule and smoke anyway, anywhere they like. And what about the STAFF? They have to work in all areas don't they?

I don't think this is a freedom issues at all. It is a 21st century move towards encouraging a healthy working environment and social environment for all.

Re the reference to the third world - this is the fasting growing market for cigarettes. Companies are targeting the third world because of falling sales in the west. Watch this space - in thirty years time heart disease, lung cancer and other related illnesses will be killing third world citizens in huge numbers - just like they have here for decades.

wjp666 - can you find a smoke free coffee bar for me? Can you even find me a coffee bar that is open after 5pm? Not in my town! What we do have is ONE smoke-free pub with no music and no fruit machines but plenty of books and good conversation. It is a VERY popular pub. Good beer too.

I dont think it is wrong for children to be in pubs unless its after 5 pm when they should be at home having their tea and settling down ready for bed.

As long as there playin in the gardens there not being exposed to smoke.......

I as a smoker do not smoke in front of my children but would not ask somone who was smoking around me to move if i really didn't like it i would move.

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion but alot of people on here seem to think that a few peoples opinions are wrong, opinions are not right or wrong they are what people as individuals think or feel......

Some people choose to smoke some don't and i don't think it should be banned all together maybe have the pubs like they used to where you have a saloon bar and a public bar smokers one end non smokers the other end and as for smoking barmaids working in smoking pubs, if there really that bothered by it then they wouldn't work there.

There are plenty of coffee shops and cafes open past 5pm here and some are non smoking which is fine and i go to those to.

I think people need to be a bit more open minded and not think just because they don't like it that it should be stopped all together, I personally don't like the smell of car fumes or the noise a moped makes but it's the way of the world as is smoking now and drinking also, let it be!!!!

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

Ok, how about everyone that gets p*ssed every weekend??Let them kill themselves in private because alcohol kills too!!God forbid we should have less violence at kick out time!! I don't like seeing a bunch of moron's starting a fight in the street because they can't handle there drink, i also don't like smelling of beer when somone has thrown there pint across the bar/floor in a drunken state.

So how about banning all alcohol too??

I can sit with people drinking all night and that's not harming my lungs or making my hair and clothes smell.

smurfboy · « **Reply #52 on:** February 18, 2006, 04:39:47 pm »

Exactly. When I drink I damage my own liver and no one else's. When people smoke they damage everyone's lungs.

And just to clarify, smoking has NOT been banned. You can puff away all you like in private.

I don't think anyone's opinions are wrong. I am just responding with my own opinions. I personally think smoking in pubs and public buildings should be banned. If I am a bigot or a Marxist for having that opinion then so be it.

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.

And what is that supposed to mean?
