Oh, and IME usually the "no smoking" area is a small section stuck in a corner or practically separated off from the main area of the pub.

But if you actually look at the number of people smoking in the main part of the pub, it's only a fairly small proportion. So why not re-arrange things so the "drug addicts" can go into a small room, get their fix, then come out and join the rest of us when they've finished instead of the whole pub being polluted by their smoke?


However you choose to look at it, the local pub is full of people getting their "fixes".
No matter how you try and force people to think it, smoking is never going to be unacceptable.
**** happens get on with it, if smokers smoke thye know they are practically committing suicide, so what, its their freaking choice.

Yes Granted passive smoking is a problem, I dont know of a solution, banning smoking will kill the pub industry and the do gooders will have more victims on their hands.

As for previous comments by others, referring to smokers as little more than **** that are polluting the atmosphere, when they stop travelling in motorised vehicles I'll listen to what they have to say about pollution.
Whens the gov gonna ban diesel engines, petrol engines and for good measure lets ban 2 stroke engines, after all they burn th emost oil I think. Then we can all stop getting electricity provided from anything that causes pollution. And yes if you chose to you can be pedantic like me and say that wind farms are a form of pollution, they arent natural and they spoil the landscape.

Wheres it gonna stop?

As A recently (2 weeks ago) ex smoker its something I feel strongly about, to the point that if some oppinionated **** came into m,y face and complained about me smoking I'd blow the ****ing smoke in their face and tell them to **** off.

But thats me.
