Cyclone Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Of course all you non-smokers are going to be out every night once the dreaded "fog of death" has gone from the pubs ? There must be thousands of you just waiting for a non-smoking pub to open, hey, wait a minute, that sounds like a realy good bussiness move, if I were a landlord I'd be doing that now. No, i'll just be happier when I am out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-Maid Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 One of the great things about the ban is that ex-smokers will find it much easier to stay off the fags because they can still socialise without being tempted by passive smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already are some non-smoking pubs, and I choose those in preference to those where smoking is allowed. Come the 1st of July I will have much greater choice about where I can go, so I may actually get out more at weekends! Always supposing I get my work done first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-Maid Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm also looking forward to the dawn of "smoker bashing", which is the (currently frowned upon) art of telling off smokers while they smoke. If smoking had only been discovered today, it would be banned as a harmful and addictive drug. It's only because it's been historically accepted that it's become so mainstream. I don't know if the ban will have as big an effect as we'd like. People will always die because of smoking, because there will always be rebellious people like Eric Cartman who will say "It's mah body, I'll do what I want!" Let's hope it brings the figures down though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't want to pay extra council tax because of sick clean ups from pavements and the police having to be called out to drunk and disorderly complaints. Just a thought:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought:) Not a problem, the tax on alcohol covers the NHS cost, council tax covers the vomit cleaning costs and it's already a crime to be drunk and disorderly and to serve anyone who is plastered, so I don't see what more can be done to stop that.

Dick_Turpin Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It'll not be long till they've gone the whole hog and banned drinking in pubs, jukeboxes, crib, gamblers, men, the whole lot. !!! In fact why not just knock them all down and build more coffee bars and child friendly places there's not enough of them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how much tax could be lowered if people didn't drink, not to mention the amount the nhs could put towards better things like a £70 000 rock for outside every hospital. Also I've never known a smoker knock somebody's teeth out because they've had one fag to many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
