The end of (some) UK B&Ms?

[Paul K]

There are no nearby lounges to me as far as I know and so I smoke alone in the garden mostly *tiny violin playing* haha

Ditto,

Did it last night whilst watching the Liverpool v Man City game. Just wrapped up the layer and a hand warmer to stop my hands and fingers from seizing up with the cold.

Summer is on the way [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

In Wiltshire, where I live, there used to be a great Independent B&M in Bradford on Avon that had a great little cigar lounge beneath the premises in the cellar. Unfortunately, they stopped using the space as a cigar lounge as they couldn?t justify the space for the few number of cigar smokers actually using it. They have since converted the space to run cookery courses for making hand made chocolates.

So for me now, it?s a cigar either at a pub with outdoor smoking space, or when walking the dogs, or in the garden outside the back door at home.

Personally I'd like to see us take a similar stance to mainland Europe and allow indoor smoking in segregated, well ventilated areas in pubs/bars. Lower taxes would obviously be nice too but a warm place to smoke and chat is more important to me.

I had the pleasure of smoking a CoRo in a bar in Belgium a couple of months ago in a cozy upstairs smoking room and I just sat there wishing I could do the same closer to home. There are no nearby lounges to me as far as I know and so I smoke alone in the garden mostly *tiny violin playing* haha

In Belgium, you can smoke in Cafe's is they have a Glass smoking room with separate ventilation & extraction from the rest of the bar. I have a couple of those in Merksem, near where I live. They did have several of these in London before the ban but they banned the use of them even though they hotels were told if they invested in these rooms they would be exempt from any future ban.

It appears those of us who enjoy a cigar are being well and truly ousted.

I don't smoke in the house as Mrs K hates the smell of it, plus I have 3 kids. So backdoor for me, which to be honest as long as its not wet, or starts to rain it doesn't bother me. I might invest in a patio heater. If I can't pollute the environment in my house I can pollute the one outside......... And now runs for cover.

Herbert Love in Glasgow used to have a smoking lounge but that closed down when the ban came in, then shortly after the shop closed down.

This might be a daft question but the smoking in. Pubs, clubs and cafes is that UK wide?

England you can smoke in pub gardens and outside cafes. Smoking banned inside with the exception of sampling in a cigar shop. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2...ulation/7/made

All the exemptions are here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/765/part/2/made

CCC is pretty close to me but not always convenient as I need to get home for my dog after work. Most of my smoking is done in the garden too which means I'm not smoking very little at the moment

Dog tiredness is directly proportionate to the vitola i wish to smoke in winter!!

im the same with regard to the lonely back garden smoke. i have said this before, but barring this forum i don't know anyone that enjoys a cigar. There are plenty of those shisha type lounges round these parts with converted 'open air' roof spaces being used so the whole smoking indoors doesn't seem to be the issue. They keep popping up. supply and demand and sadly i think, at least 'up ere' we don't have the demand for it.

really looking forward to this summer again, barbies, beers and sticks! bring it on!

Put some minuses in front of those numbers and that's more like what we will get up here!

Over in Bishop Auckland today and it was snowing 1.5 Deg on the car

Perhaps one of these is the solution? An "indoor smoke shack" [emoji23][emoji23]
