And not to mention that pekka has a point!! I mean non smokers dont want to smell smoke on them what makes you think others want to smell foul, yucky smelling colognes and perfumes?? Isnt it the same concept other then the smoke issue?

Yes, and I hate on both equally. Note that it's typically you women folk that overdo it with the perfume.

Asher when are you gonna get it? I agree that smoking in public places is nto a good thing?

I'm just cluing you in that some smoke is far more toxic than others.

[Pekka]

It is, and old women at that. I think they really just don't smell themselves, that's the problem.

But I have to say that I don't like when people smell. Be it tobacco, and I mean people do smell bad after smoking. It's really strong smell too, it's like .. it makes you have nausea, that smell.

So people have to be considerate. I don't mind if someones BO let's them down sometimes, but those people who always smell and don't make an effort, well they are just being rude.

In fact, if you dont' want to smell people, get a car. This way, you don't have any people around you that you don't tolerate and you can relax, no other people at all, DAMN those other people.

Relax in a car. With all those jerks on the road.

To be fair, not all non-smokers are anti-smoking zealots.

However, the first government to try and eliminate smoking was the same government that tried exterminating its political and 'racial' enemies.

King James I attempted a genocide?! Blimey! They kept that quiet.

its plausible to ban smoking outdoors, its not feasible though.

[Asher]

Isn't drinking banned outdoors except for licensed areas/

[MRT144]

yes. I actually got a ticket when i went back to SF a few years ago for drinking in public.

Roll on April 2 here...

I will personally celebrate by doing the rounds of all the cool independent coffee shops here in Cardiff where the smokers have traditionally had dominion over the cooler upstairs parts...

Go Mobe. I can't wait for it. In fact I've decided to avoid all pubs now till it's brought in. The resulting bounce upwards in my alcohol consumption following the ban should distort any post-ban sales upwards

[MOBIUS]

Actually, there is one slight gripe about the smoking ban...

A couple of the Brains' Pubs are non-smoking and as such are almost always very quiet despite being in the centre of town. 33 Windsor Place especially is very nice, and I fear that when the ban comes into effect, their exclusivity will suddenly be no more...

Not had a good pint of Brains SA for a long while...

It will certainly be interesting to see how pub- and bar-life changes when July arrives.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing all the filthy scrotes being chucked out when they light up..cos many will!

Huh? All my friends are delighted not to have to breathe in others smoke to enjoy many establishments. I think the drop off in business that bars feared has not come about

It has happened where I live. Because the casinos got an exemption from the smoking ban. I think it was a conspiracy by the casinos to steal business from local bars. ****ing greedy corporations.

I dont get all anti smoking beatin on a railing telling everyone the downfalls of smoking.

But, I dont smoke the last i did regualar was marijuana years and years ago and if I remember correctly someone was saying smoking pot was worse or some say it is not founded.

I dont judge but rather ask other to respect my right to go some place where I am not subjected to it.

I dont like the smell of smoke on my clothes or on my food.

Again, i am not judgeing just asking for the option to not have to be around it in public places.

Now as far as banning smoking outside I say smokers have the right to have some area for themselves

As for the nurse who got raped because she had to smoke in an area where the rapists attacked her, the smoking didnt get her raped, the motives of the rapist, whether he was an opportunist or not, got her raped. I wont say she did anything to help the situation by being alone in woods if thats where she was raped but certainly her smoking ban inside had little to do with her most unfortunate of events.

Again smoke 'em if ya got em but please respect the rights of those who do not want to smoke or smell the stench.

Now, I am sure someone will attack my stance but in no way am I attacking smokers, merely asking for some space.

Yes I could go somewhere else which I do most times, but doesnt mean I shouldn't have somewhere that non smokers can relax in relative peace, same as smokers who want to partake, I dont go in and put a fan in front of the,m and spritz them with Ohh dee doo da day cologne

Ok

My small insignifigant response.
