A no smoking forum?

Ah yes, but the government hasn't proved that drinking causes deaths (yet)!

(p.s. T*sc*'s allow employee discount on booze but not fags - funny that!)

You can still eat what you like. As for the health risk, it's always been there we just haven't been so aware of it.

Again, the health risk has always been there, it just wasn't known about, except by the cigarrette industry who tried to keep it under wraps.

Hang on, so because of Dictator Blair you cannot go out without fear of being assaulted?? IMO the fear of being assaulted has as much to do with a much greater awareness of crime than an increase in crime.

Surely if he was a Dictator he would hav banned youths from being out after dark. Also the banning of smoking was a cross party thing. Most MPs regardless of party voted for it. 

Is it any less safe for women now than when the Yorkshire ripper was on the rampage?

I'd like to be free to go into a restaurant or a pub and not have to breath carcinogenic smoke. In fact it's an infringement of my civil liberties that I have too.

What you actually should be saying is 'I was happier when I was living in blissfull ignornace of the health risks of fatty foods and smoking'

How many do you think it would kill if it wasn't against the law?

As for enforcement, it will be up to the management to ensure that people are not allowed to smoke on the premises. I'm sure you will be told to enforce this for them. If the club owners get �2500 fines for not stopping smoking then I'm sure you will have to enforce it or lose your job. I could be wrong though...........

i agree with both off u but saying if u get sick if u this if that but i pay taxes and so do most smokers yes its bad but so is drugs banning smoking, but mps can smoke at the old house off commans

is this right or do u all worry so much about everybody else worry about ur self .no i would  not loss my job my club makes 25 30 thousand a night over weekened 2500 fine u do the maths police would spend all night dealing with smokers i do not smoke but i do belive in choice .my point was drink driving is against the law but it still happens so will smoking say what u want so will drugs e speed ghd coke all will go on till the end of time u worry so much about ur health but we all drive big fancy cars big engines co2 all that sh..t mobile phone attenas i can go on..

i do agree smoking is bad and something should be done but not a full ban .and saying it works in irealand ,irealand is the size of a ten pence piece my nans house is bigggggger so the affect will not be the same as a large city with many clubs ,pubs i wonder how many on here are aganst smoking but have taking drugs ????????? and yes ull all say no  

night clubs very diff for it to loss its licence if it does  club changes name on licence and reopens .losing ur licence can take anything up to  a month to a year my club holds 2500 folk so thats a lot off tax for the tax man and if u did not all ready keen most councils are bent

my club has lost it once but reopend 1 month later as far as public was aware we were doing a refit makeover no it is not right before u all start but lifes not fair if the owners off the clubs say do it its done after all its there club

Or wait for 16 months until it is banned.

I'm just about to get the bus to the pub now, so in about 3 hours I'll be 5-6 pints better off and probabaly stink of fag smoke, but hey the beers worth it.

It will be so much better though when pubs are smoke free
