Smoking Ban

[PeeJay]

Well guess what I heard on the radio.


The public smoking ban should be extended to beer gardens, al fresco eating areas of restaurants, parks, and outside school gates, a report says.

And the area outside pubs apparently

I've enjoyed quite a few smokes in parks in what little summer we've had, a few free concerts and the like. While always conscious of those around me who may not like the smell it'll be a real shame if they ban smoking in these places.

Next you'll be banned from smoking in your own garden because the second hand smoke affects your neighbours. Wonder if they'll ban BBQs next? Surely they're a bigger polluter of personal airspace or is the acrid smoke from burning meat not as bad for you?

Smoking Ban

Here's some interesting information I've just read:-

Research by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) also suggests there are "alarming" levels of misinformation surrounding tobacco ? as 90% of people believe nicotine alone is harmful to health when this is not the case.

In actuality, it is the toxins used to make cigarettes ? such as tar and arsenic ? which are dangerous, and nicotine itself is no more dangerous than the caffeine in a cup of coffee.

You obviously missed the news item from the States where a civil enforcement officer tried to stop a barbecue because the smoke was crossing the property boundary. The result wasn't included.

It's become a real bugbear of mine this summer especially. I enjoy a cigar most of the year round outdoors - I don't see anyone in the beer gardens on a chilly November. Then they tip out into them for 8 weeks a year and suddenly I'm supposed to give way to their whims?

F**k off!!

Exactly was I said about having a smoke in the garden the neighbours might complain
about the smell of our cigars.

Can't smoke outside school when picking up our kids
because children will see us smoking a pipe or chomping on a robusto
and think look at the man smoking think i'll try my dads pipe when I get home
might pinch a couple of his robusto's to share with my mates behind the bike shed
what a load of bo###cks

My neighbours hide behind their shed to smoke out of sight of their children. Never mind that I can smell it in my garden. Makes me laugh when I'm talking to them over the fence with a stogie in my mouth

Don't go to the pub very often but I think if this goes ahead pubs will loose a lot of money in my opinion.

Makes no difference wether they smoke in front of them behind them in the shed
when them kids grow up and start going out and about with friends I bet sooner or later they be smoking
never smoked in front of my 2 while they were growing up so they woulden't copy
how wrong I was when my son started going out with the lads one night the wife found a lighter in his trouser pocket
before putting them in the wash, she confronted him about it he replied looking after it for a mate ,yer looking after it my arse
well going forward he now smokes a pipe Cuban cigars a rollies at work.

Some doctor on the BBC news this morning stated as a fact, lots of pubs were expected to close after the smoking ban but it didn't happened. What?! That's not what I have read & heard elsewhere or are they now going to claim it was only due to cheap alcohol in the supermarkets?

[oskihen]

60% of pubs in a ten mile radius of me have closed since the smoking ban , mainly town 'drinkers pubs ' they just don't exist anymore bloody shame

Matter of time pubs will go the same way as milk floats.

Can't smoke in them already, they're classed as places of work
