i agree the pub was designed as a place to smoke and drink

now the only place you can smoke is at home, with your kids, and their soft absorbent lungs :(

If you don't want to go somewhere you can't smoke

don't go to a pub (after 1st July of course).

Seriously, that is the shitest arguament against the ban. Me going into a pub and not smoking doesn't really affect anyone (unless I haven't had a bath for a while) but someone smoking in the same room as me makes me smell and gives me face aids.

Forest talk utter shite.

but then

so do the anti-smoking fanatics.

as far as I can see the agreed facts by actual real life people I've met are:
1) some people like it and want to do it
2) some people think it smells awful and it annoys them.
3) you can't get the smell out of your clothes/eyes/hair easily
4) it's not particularly healthy

so yes, people shouldn't have it inflicted on them needlessly. Nor should people be denied the option to do it, but there's no defence against the perfectly reasonable request to go outside while you do it. Or to a special room or something, with suitable ventilation.

I agree

I have no problem if people want to smoke (although I still think that it is obviously not the best thing to do) but the arguament that I shouldn't go to a pub if I don't want breathe it in a smell of it really pisses me off.

Surely the arguament should be the other way around.

Anyway the smokers can moan all they like, they will still be freezing their arses off outside come November.

I have said this before

and I will say it again.

Anybody who cares so little about their children that they are willing to smoke in front of them does not need a smoking ban as encouragement.

The smoking ban in Scotland has not stopped anybody from smoking when they go to the pub - they just go outside for 5 minutes whenever they want a cigarette.

if people smoke in front of their kids

they should be made aware of the consequences
but often lawyers and solicitors kids become lawyers and solicitors, which is a thoroughly shit state of affairs
