# Heh
I think left-wing would apply to people on both sides of this argument.

It's not a very good insult

# surely it should be "Smoking ban" or "No smoking"?
a "No smoking ban" means that there is a ban on not smoking.

# give it time and it'll be like the whale in the thames etc
people will find pubs and restaurants nicer and smokers will have new friends under the eaves outside of pubs etc

yesterday evening, this was discussed too, resulting in more and more signs crossing out signs, which in turn were crossing out signs, which...etc ;)

# no, you've got it all tit about arse
it's a protest against the ban meaning:

No (*to the*) smoking ban

# It would be good
if there was a smoke room but apparently these aren't allowed either
(Davideo Lets Rock you Mothers, Sun 1 Jul 2007, 13:49, archived)
# Apparently there can be designated smoking areas which aren't technically inside (like a marquee or a fenced porch)
There'll almost certainly be a fair few of those springing up to win back all the smoking locals.

# To be honest
If someone stops going out to pubs just because they can't smoke they're a sorry fucking wanker.

# No one is stopping people from smoking
They are stopping non smokers from having to put up with it when they go out.

# well sir.
if they don't want to breath in smoke in the pub.
GO TO A NON-SMOKING PUB!

They came for the smokers,
But I was not a smoker,
So I did nothing,

They came for the 4x4 drivers,
But I was not a 4x4 driver,
So I did nothing,

They came for the car boot counterfeit DVD sellers,
But I was not a car boot counterfeit DVD seller,
So I did nothing,

They came for the ukulele players...

# Non-smoking pub?
There's no such thing. Especially one with a pool table.
(Cuthbert Annihilator, Sun 1 Jul 2007, 15:57, archived)
# There is.
Millions of the fuckers.

(Also, we have a non-smoking Wetherspoons in Exeter.)

I'm a smoker, and I say to all the moaning
"we've-lost-our-civil-liberties-what-is-this-nazi-germany" gang - just fucking deal with it.

I accept that smoking is a filthy habit and not nice at all for non-smokers.

# I dissapprove of the fact that we have to put signs up everywhere
(every entrance to the church, in the hearse, on all 5 doors of my old man's truck because it is a workplace) despite the fact that nobody ever smokes in those buildings.

Surely a national ban means less need for signs?

# you're a dick
I don't want to HAVE to breathe your smoke when I go out - I have sevear sinus problems that have meant 2 operations and 1 A&E visit.
The only reason I have problems is that I am alergic to cigarette smoke but until today I couldn't get away from it in public buildings and now I can.

# I can respect that
But smokers are addicts and as it's been banned the only support offered is cash in time from the
pharmaceutical corporations.
If about 90% of the price of ciggies is meant to go to the NHS, why hasn't a massive support initiative been started?
I am in no way condoning the hardship you've been through.
