Bruno Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I think you are a bit confused. This thread started by someone claiming that their world would come to an end because clubs will have to become smoking free and predicting doom and gloom for the drinks industry, and most people disagree, even a large proportion of smokers (maybe 50% of them?) it seems are looking forward to this change. I have never seen anyone on sheffield forum berating people who confess to be addicted to smoking. only those who insist on doing it in places where they inconvenience the 70% of the population which doesn't smoke. Actually I think it's you thats confused, the thread started by the op asking for people to sign a petition in support of a smoking area in clubs.

Fuzzy Duck Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The only problem the authorities are worried about, is the amount of people drunk standing on the streets smoking, outside of pubs and clubs.

ohn276 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 "Most of the people who go to nightclubs smoke" says Ang..lets get this straight in my mind, less than 25% of the people smoke..so me thinks this statement is at least inaccurate!. I go home to Scotland often, and it is a delight to go to pubs etc clean air. People should also look at the health benefits to staff working in these pubs etc since the introduction of the smoking ban. Just to make things clear, les than 25% of the adult population smoke. And do not get me started on smoking parents and their asthmatic kids. "little Jonnys asthma is bad again" and little Johnny smells of his parents smoke.

tom3t0 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6416537,00.html So now the government are going to fine people for smoking a substance they have paid substantial amounts of tax on. I bet there will still be machines in pubs serving expensive fags though. Surely the £30million would be spent on officers to walk the beat or builders to build a prison to persecute (rehabilitate/reward) real criminals. Every other day we hear of released murderer's and paedophiles reoffending and they are going to spend money on such a petty thing in order to generate more. The best thing about it is the amount of "smoking related illness's" will continue to increase until fossil fuels run out I for one hope these undercover officers get glassed.

JoeP Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 No, they're being fined for smoking where they shouldn't be smoking - there's a difference. Just as there are by-laws agaisnt drinking alcohol in the streets in many areas, there are now the news laws on smoking coming in. The fact that you hope for someone to get 'glassed' for doing their jobs is a deplorable attitude to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If smokers could be trusted to take their filth outside then no enforcement would be necessary. But they can't. So if a law is going to be passed (which it has been) then you have to make some enforcement effort, otherwise it's meaningless. I hope it's you doing the glassing, and that you subsequently do 5 years for assaulting an officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environmental health officers already visit pubs and clubs to check on health regulations - and you wish them a face full of broken glass! Might I enquire what type of impaired development do you suffer from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
