As to point 5, even I as a smoker, can smell people who have just came from a fag break, have bad body odour, etc. They say it numbs your sense of smell, ive not noticed a difference.
Back onto the BAN, it hit me last week when I seen a huge sign in Lime Street Liverpool counting down in seconds, minutes, hours and days to when the ban hits. I've started thinking now about quiting. It's all very well in the summer months (when we actually get sun that is), I can just smoke in the beer garden. But come winter, do I really want to be stood outside in the wind and rain?
Around my town some places have already started making new outdoor heated areas for the smoker. Will be interesting to see how they go. Probably more people outside than in!  Roll on the outdoor nightclub revolution?  |
My local is a listed building and they are not allowed to put up a canopy outside for the smokers. The pub is on a corner with a road at front and side, and there is no garden so they have been hit hard with loss of trade. I have noticed however that the Wetherspoons has lost a lot of trade, but that has always been non-smoking.
So perhaps its not all down to the smoking ban?
The body odour and people letting rip are noticably different since the smoking ban, I have had people come upto where I am stood at the bar and the smell is really bad, some of these have been going in there long before the smoking ban but it never got noticed. One of my mates doesn't have a very strong stomache and he has been heaving a number of times lately. One guy put his arms up in the air saturday night, I think half a dozen people passed out.
