As for banning it in the pubs for people who work in pubs, I seriously think the people who get bar jobs and doesn't expect to be in a smokey environment should seriously consider getting some commonsense, it would be like getting a job as a driving instructure expecting not to have to teach people. Same goes for people who go to pubs not expecting to be in a smokey environment, It is commonsense that some people will be smoking and have to be expecting it, unless it has a non smoking.

What a fantastic argument. No social life for non-smokers. No way for non-smoking students to make an income. Brilliant reasoning, don't know why the Government didn't think of that one before!

i'm not talking about eating food.

i'd lean against something that was dirty. or against something that had just been painted...

 

[Innocent]

Ay up innocent, hows it going duck?

Fine, luv! Just having problems over this smoking issue at the Walkers coming up so soon after the cigar-wavers in the government decided that I can't do a roll-up in a pub.
Ah well, if we get enough climate change thanks to vehicle emissions I'll just sit outside at Christmas with me pint............

We are not the same as being in a park in the stadium. In the park I can easily move. In the stadium the smoker might have the seat next to me and there is nowhere for me to go. I like to watch the warm-up and some of the half-time bits so I do not always want to go down to the concourse, where some smokers still ignore the ban! I do not regard the balti pie argument as being a health hazard!

there rae other ways of students making an income, they don't just have to get bar jobs, I'm sure if they look a bit then they will find something. Never said non smokers shouldn't have a social life either, there are non smoking sections, there are non smoking pubs, there are other non smoking places to go.

Soon they won't have to - they will be able to get smoke-free jobs in smoke-free bars.

Never said non smokers shouldn't have a social life either,

No, you didn't. But soon they'll be able to go into pubs and bars without the unpleasantness of inhaling other people's smoke and smelling of other people's smoke when they leave.

there are non smoking sections,

Soon there won't be; it will be all non-smoking.

there are non smoking pubs,

Soon there won't be; they'll all be non-smoking.

there are other non smoking places to go.

Yes. And the smokers can enjoy their habit in the comfort of their own homes.

The law for 2008 on a total ban on smoking is yet to be passed, so it could still take a lot longer for it to come in, or not at all.

It was actually passed the night before last and will take effect from next Summer.

:icon_lol: I don't think even you can believe what you are writing. The vote earlier in the week was on teh Bill's Second Reading; almist nothing gets stopped at its Third Reading.

Also, the ban will come in in the summer of 2007, not 2008. You have less time than you think.

Doesn't it still have to be passed through the house of lords??

still every cloud has a silver lining prices of cigarettes will drop

Yes, but with such a large Commons majority, it is unlikely The Lords would not pass the bill.

It's a good call. Do you think we'll still be allowed to roll up in a pub? As long as you don't ignite it surely it's ok? I reckon it'll be a complete farce anyway, imagine in a nightclub - OY! STOP SMOKING! Do you want some pills though? Ridiculous - what are the police gonna do? "We are arresting you for smoking" It'll get laughed at! HAHAHA! Stupid idea - it'll never catch on. "You have been charged with the most vile of crimes - having a cigarette!" *public gallery gasp with repultion* "How do you plead?" "Guilty your honour, now throw away the key and let me have my pipe back"

Time will tell.

You're clutching at straws.

Can't see it lasting myself what will the government do when they realise how much tax they will lose? put the tax up on something else which will still effect everyone?

i maybe but still not passed through, lords like their cigars, so could put it off like the fox hunting, or till they let them smoke them in their private clubs

Nothing wrong with my spelling - it's just that I have fingers which sometimes don't hit the correct keys in the correct order.
