So, we've established that smoking doesn't neccessarily lead to illness then?

So - what happens with a pub that has banned smoking, so everyone who wants to have a fag has to go outside, when they want to have a 'lock in'

Hi

Coming to this late BUT

As a reformed smoker you would expect me to say yes to the ban. However i remember how upset i got when other adults tried to tell me what i could and could not do. Sooooo if you want to smoke then go to pubs were you can smoke, if you dont then go to pubs that dont allow it. If you are in a pub then it goes you are a adult and should be able to make your own mind up. I did i stopped smoking and now i only go to pubs that have banned smoking. You see i am a adult therefor i made my own mind up.

But surely you must understand that they were only "telling you what to do" because of the direct effect of what you were doing was having on them?

Would you object if I sat next to you in a pub and farted all night?

POSSIBLE effect, whiners like that however irritate me and probably get my blood pressure up which could POSSIBLY lead to a heart attack, so, if they don't like smoke, go somewhere without smoke, save yourselves lung cancer and me a coronary.

If that wasn't sarcastic then you are very selfish.

If a non-smoker chooses to spend time in an area that they know will be full of smoke (e.g. a pub) then what the hell gives them the right to start complaining? I don't walk into a Nuclear power station and start dictating to them!

Most pubs that I have been into do not have sealed smoking chambers. Smoke is free to roam and roam it does. If I saw that a pub was "Smoking only" then I would simply not go in. However most pubs allow smoking and have a designated area to do so. But this smoke drifts and frankly spoils my meal if I am eating.

We have no choice at the moment. If we want to go into a pub then most of the time it will be full of smoke. That is what i am objecting to.

Yes, the designated area is normally called "Everywhere but the restaurant", if you don't like people smoking in a pub, don't whine at the people who are exercising their right to smoke in a smoking area, whine at the landlord.

Not in the slightest, I'd be sitting at a table with at least 6 smokers, I'm fairly sure between us we could mask the smell.
