Survey Results - No Smoking Vote on Saturday

[Joe_Fox]

Exactly, those who oppose smoking will oppose high prices on petrol and beer just as much I reckon.

Why not have designated smoking pubs?

no idea would make sense to me, or back to the tradional lounge and bar rooms in pubs

I agree Joe. These anti-smokers will be the first one to moan when petrol goes up to £1.50 a litre.

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

The underlying price of a packet of cigarettes is very low in comparison with the amounts of duty and tax charged thereon. The manufacturers can only influence the underlying price in the hope of stimulating demand; therefore any savings will be small. It is also possible that the Chancellor will feel that he should increase those duties in order to maintain the tax yield; such a move would have the support of the overwhelming majority.

You don't really think the price is going to come down, do you?

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.

What will happen will be that the premises will lose its drinks and entertainment licence.

Surprised that none of the other survey results have produced comment.

Any thoughts ?

Why not have designated smoking pubs?

The time for this debate has gone. It was considered whether only pubs which serve food should be affected by the ban, but that suggestion was thrown out.

 

[highland fox]

The Ban starts here next month.

The Ban starts here next month.

Any expectation of a peoples' uprising?

No I think most people have just accepted it,pubs are putting Cigarette bin things outside in advance of it.

 

[drummindefender]

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

The house of lords has no powers to block a bill only to delay it for a period of up to 12 months-and as boc said with such a big majority they wouldn't dare do it. SO even if they do delay it, its going to happen.

 

[Real Sharapova]

and as boc said

Twas me

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.

From this, and your other posts, I can assume the following.

1) You're not, and never have been, a student.

2) You've never been anywhere that already has a smoking ban.

3) You've never been in the no-smoking section in a pub.

1) I have been a full time student and currently a part time student - studied IT full time and currently doing Civil Engineering part time

2) I have been to places with smoking bans - Ireland

3) I have also been in the non smoking section in a pub - quite a lot as many of my friends are non smokers, i just go and stand in the smoking part when i want one

Never assume!

After a week of working on a Powerpoint presentation for the good (????) ole folks of Texas on the part played by the cingulate girus, the amygdala, the hippocampus and cerebellar catcholomine in compromised executive functioning and weak central coherence in ASCs, I have to say that anyone denying me the momentary hit of nicotine at half time at the Walkers is going to get tw***** by me.
I promise.
I am all intellectualised out. My limbic system is crying out for a ciggie.

Please vote to allow me to indulge in the only joys I have left in my disgruntled 61 years of life - LCFC, bad reffing decisions, and a Samson roll-up. Oh, and dissing Americans .....

1) You should then appreciate that jobs that can be fitted around studying are not that easy to come by.

2) You would have seen that the system works fine, what's the beef? Oh dear, you have to go outside. Diddums.

3) Most no-smoking sections offer very little respite from the smokers. Do you not think so?

1) they can be, i worked at Asda, i had a friend who worked in Burger King

2) the fact of not having choice, in away it's Discrimination. I didn't think it worked that well either, every half hour to an hour the pub emptying leaving a hand full of people for 10 minutes

3) some don't but most the places i go do, as they have good ventilation systems.
