Supporters say a ban would protect children in particular from passive smoking.

So will they be banning air conditioning in cars too then ? What about all the Carbon Monoxide filling our lungs, when we are stuck in traffic.

A guy was run over and killed close to where I live a few years ago. The driver admitted that he was fiddling with the radio at the time.

Re: smoking and the pub
I feel that smoking should be banned while driving, was was run of the road in the week buy two drivers, one was smoking, and the other was on the phone.
I don't lip read but I knew what they said and thay had the bl**dy nerve to blame me.
Also they thow the dog end out of the car or leave little pile of dirty dogends in car parks

That's a sweeping generalisation there david - not all smokers do that you know. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I've found that it's a lot easier just to take the ashtray out of the car every once in a while and put the ash in my wheelie bin

Re: smoking and the pub
As I was coming home yesterday I noticed at a couple of motorway service areas that Cancer Research UK has put stick-on adverts on every restaurant table top 'in celebration of the lives that will be saved as a result of Scotland's public smoking ban'.
The law comes into effect on the 26th of this month - less than 2 weeks away - and I can't wait. While I was away I visited a smoke-free pub for the first time. It took me some time to work out what was odd about it, and then I realised I could see right across the room clearly, with no pale grey fog of fag smoke hanging in the air. And at the end of the evening my clothes didn't stink.
They have started leafleting homes to remind everyone when the ban starts. I may have mine framed. Finally the majority can have a night out without coming home stinking and full of passive smoke.

But you must have surely known that there would be smokers in the club before you applied for the job? Why now complain about the stink?
Please explain as this type of "i put up with until the Government banned it" attitude i can't fathom . I've been in crappy jobs that i didn't like and left the place so why didn't you?

I too have been in jobs with aspects I didn't like. I didn't leave as I felt the bits I liked outweighed the bits I didn't like.. Sounds like Ellie is willing to put up with the smoke as she likes the pay.

Maybe she loved him? Maybe she was convinced she could persuade him to give up? I don't know ellie, so I may be wrong, but that seems logical to me.

I have to admit, while I don't smoke, I don't agree with a total ban.

LOL! No Ellie you didn't rattle my cage (i did put a wink to make sure i didn't come across that way)
What gets me is that people are prepared to support a ban on smoking in pubs/clubs who are non smokers. Fair enough, i thought we all had a choice on wether or not we worked/frequented those places. Now my rights have been taken away! Soon if i "spark up" in a pub/club i can be asked to leave or fined. Why not just give a section of the pub/club up for smokers. Asking me to go outside to smoke imo is akin to asking me to leave!

Re: smoking and the pub
But it works in Ireland
Its not too bad, but yeah I agree as a socail smoker I enjoy a pint and a cigar.
My attitude now is stuff the pubs, stuff the clubs, I'll brew me own, I'll use the local offie.
When students cant get bar jobs because the majority of pubs and clubs have closed due to lack of business they can thank the smoking ban.
