Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE? Post by: George2Loose on July 01, 2009, 01:57:28 PM Surely they mean ban smoking in public places full stop?
I'm sure some states in America have this law. As a non smoker I'm obviously going to agree that it should be banned full stop. But from a rights point of view I think the smoking ban we have atm is sufficient enough Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE? Post by: boldie on July 01, 2009, 02:15:51 PM yeah some parks in the States are non-smoking.

Leave people alone. They banned smoking in pubs and now you can smell every fart, bit of BO & you can see the people in the place - they all looked better through a smokey haze!!! Leave it as an open choice (remember them) and pubs put up a sign to say they are smoking or non-smoking - job done. And I'd rather second hand smoke than the non-smoker doing the 'cough cough, handwaving' pish they do to show their disapproval of smokers. Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE?

Post by: steeveg on July 01, 2009, 03:02:30 PM i can understand people wanting a total ban on somoking if they feel there safety is in danger, it just annoys me when i see a lot idiots causing trouble in town centers due to alchol, they attack innocent people, some just act abusive and threatining, nothing seems to be done to stop this but i am told i cant light a ciggie ,seems prorities are wrong sometimes,the sooner society starts to not just pick on easy targets the better.

Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE? Post by: Tuffster on July 01, 2009, 03:12:23 PM As a smoker, I was in favour of the ban inside pubs, fair enough, it gets cold outside in the winter, but hey ho, if it prevents bar workers from picking up secondary smoke then I'm all in favour of it.
It's the bloody sanctimonious non-smokers who really tilt me, the ones who move into your area whilst you are enjoying a cigarette and then request you put it out. Grrrrrr. A classic example, I'm leaning against the (outside) of an empty bus-stop in Central London awaiting my number 25 to finally turn up, so I thought I'd try Murphy's Law and light a fag to get the bus to arrive. No such luck, however a woman with a pushchair toddles up to my otherwise empty bus stop, stands within 3 feet of me and then looks at me with with hate filled eyes and asks me to "put out that f**king disgusting fag as it's harming my beautiful baby". WTF, I turned to look at her, took another drag on my fag and calmly told her feck off and if she was that worried about my smoke; a) stand INSIDE the bus shelter, b) worry more about the car pollution affecting little babies lungs or c) stop being such a stupid cow. /rant Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE?

Post by: boldie on July 01, 2009, 03:23:37 PM I have no problem with banning smoking in doors (although I think that if there was a market for non-smoking pubs they already would have existed before the smoking ban) but to say that people are not allowed to smoke outdoors is ridiculous IMO.
I also don't like people driving in cities and towns as cars pollute the air as well...can we please stop that as well? It's ridiculous, there used to be a time when smokers and non-smokers just worked shit out; In the workplace and pretty much everywhere. Non-smokinjg H&S are in charge now..so no more working out.

i remember all the hoohaa at the the time of the smoking ban, with all these arseholes who had never been in a pub in their life proclaiming that they would now enjoy going to pubs, because they were clean. guess what ? they have stopped going again. They have found some other pathetic thing that they dont like about pubs to use as an excuse for not going. take a drive/walk/cycle through any small town these days and count the number of for sale boards up on pubs. You can also go into most pubs and get your pick of where to sit, since they are being deserted in droves. hundred of pubs are closing every month. in all seriousness, as a smoker, I wouldnt mind if the government was serious about it - in which case ban it completely. But we all know if they did that, then the economy would completely collapse. So despite all their words and posturing, they are as dependant on the smokers and I am on the marlboro.

You can also go into most pubs and get your pick of where to sit, since they are being deserted in droves. hundred of pubs are closing every month. This is nothing to do with the smoking ban. It is because lots of greedy people opened lots of new pubs when the economy was booming and lots of people had lots of disposable income. Now that people have less disposable income they don't go to pubs as much because they can't afford it, hence some pubs have to close. In fact if they banned smoking completely I suspect pubs would be better off because previous smokers who now had more disposable income would need an alternative. The pub for half a mild seems the perfect substitute. in all seriousness, as a smoker, I wouldnt mind if the government was serious about it - in which case ban it completely.

I apologise for calling you a twat though. Right, to draw a line under a spat over an off the cuff remark. I'm sorry you have lung trouble, I'm asthmatic & while thankfully I'm not too bad now I'd a few spells in hospital as a kid, it's a scary thing when you have an attack as well. My Grandad died of silicosis too, so I'm not totally insensitive to respiratory problems. I'm not going to withdraw the gag though becasue it seems pretty obvious to me that it wasn't a serious attack on anyone, just a ridiculous exageration. I do however have my doubts about the number of people killed by secondary smoke. If smoking is the problem why have the incidences of asthma gone up considerably while smoking is on the wane? There are large claims of the number killed by passive smoking, but they all seem to be from the anti-smoking lobby or the politicians introducing the legislation. Even the doctor who proved the link between smoking and lung cancer said that the effect of secondary smoke was too small to worry him. The effect of a walk through a city centre in rush hour is likely to more dangerous than sitting in a smoky pub for the same time. (Indeed they did test on a non-smoking pub ona a main street in Glasgow City centre & a smoking pub down a side street with good ventilation & the air was healthier in the smoking pub). Since the legislators and the anti-smoking lobby made such a hoo-haa about it that it's logical I suppose for people to be worried, but I don't think it justifies a total ban, if there's 2 pubs on a street, let them compete for a smoking license - one gets it & there's a choice, and to ban smoking in the street outside the premises is nonsense.

People then have choices and supply and demand will take care of which venues will succeed. In that scenario, I then don't have to give a rats arse about the 'rights' of non-smokers (employees or patrons) who would then choose to spend time in 'my' smoking venue over 'their' non smoking venue.

Post by: StuartHopkin on July 01, 2009, 08:48:35 PM If I own a pub, i employee some smokers who love to smoke, and i pay my taxes and create their taxable positions why the hell should I be told that people cannot smoke in my pub?
I really dont understand why they are aloud to tell you what to do with your own business/building. People who dont want to smoke dont come in and definately dont apply for a job. Most pubs are closing because they are badly run imo. Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE?

Most pubs are closing because they are badly run imo. So you'll be discriminating against non-smokers in your employment? The best possible person for the job won't necessarily get the job? And no, most pubs close because it costs so much more to go out then it does to buy from the supermarket. Title: Re: Smoking to be banned OUTSIDE?

(This includes Kyle and Vine) Hmm it is obvious you do not watch the programme! I find your observations insulting! I have sat through about 3 or 4 episodes of the programme. It rates no higher than the Jeremy Kyle show with me..or that annoying phone in thing on Channel5..the Wright stuff. Goes to show what a sexist person you are as none of the women on that show are a) stupid, b) semi-feminist c) fat ( what is wrong with that) and d) being slappers well, how would you know, do you know them personally? and finally c) menstrual, yes you got that right, and if women were not menstrual you wouldn't be here!!!! I thought this was a nice forum with friendly people who can have a good debate and can be rude to each other in a friendly fashion but you have overstepped the mark with your degrading views of women! I don't have a degrading view of women in general. Just these women (and Oprah type women)..in the same way that I don't hate all man for thinking Jeremy Vine and Jeremy Kyle and Mr Wright are all lowlife-scraemongering- assholes that pander to the racist and unemployed. That's where you cannot have seen the programme properly. Loose Women is not a programme typical of Jeremy Kyle etc (a programme which I think is distasteful and would not watch), the programme is given that name as it is a programme about women's chatter and they discuss all sorts of subjects and not necessarily those about women and mainly subjects that are in the news. I agree some of their subjects are a bit saucy but no more than what I have seen here on this forum which have been posted. What I disagree with your post was the language you used in such a derogatory way which is quite unacceptable!

Post by: sovietsong on July 01, 2009, 11:03:46 PM Kev if you want to get cremated in a bolt pp t-shirt, don't worry about putting it in your Will as they are normally read after the funeral. Just let your close family know and that should cover it.
As I have been so helpful could I have a t-shirt, not a blonde one just a nice t-shirt. I'm skint you see... PS - I don't think the smoking ban or any future bans are a good idea.

Why do most people actually not know what a doorway is for ? If people didn't need to go in and out the builders would have used bricks !!! Get out of the bloody way.
