I rather think the whole reason of this ban is being missed! As per previous thread, go outside, enjoy your ciggy and enjoy the fresh air lol

Big medal for Gillie, defender of the non-smoker [cue superhero music....]

You non-smokers do more winging than us smokers.. and we are the ones forever getting the blame. Sure a few of you non-smoker types have had an occasional visit with that bug they call cancer... but we have to face taking that smoke directly into our lungs many many times per day, over and over again without letting it filter round the room first. We only do this to protect you :)

So smokers cancer is more worthy then than any I might have??

I am being totally selfish here ... I don't like smoking ... so of course I will stand up for my rights not to sit and inhale in someone elses smoke ... if I wanted to do that, I would bloody smoke myself!!

From time immermorial the local pub has ben the preserve of smokers and drinkers,now it would seem 50% of its purpose has been removed.

how long before we see the demise of the good old british pub?

I say this with some evidence,if you watched East Enders last night ,one would have observed that the queen Vic was empty,a direct result of the smoking ban.

Now it would seem logical to me that an empty pub is not a viable entity.

Therefore is this the begining of the end of TV soaps as well as pubs or will life on this planet ever be the same.owing to the actions of a few oxegen gulping " Mary Whitehouse " types?

Actually that’s not true. Pubs were invented by the Romans some 2000 years ago. Tobacco was first smoked in this country about 400 years ago.

Smokers are still the newbies as far pubs are concerned ;)

The inhabitants of the British Isles have been drinking ale since the Bronze Age, but it was with the arrival of the Romans and the establishment of the Roman road network that the first inns, in which the weary traveller could obtain refreshment, began to appear. By the time the Romans left, the beginnings of the modern pub had been established. They became so commonplace that in 965 King Edgar decreed that there should be no more than one alehouse per village.

how comes you can't get a decent "spag bog" in a pub then:)
