It was suposed to end when minimum wage was brought in. Doomed, we're all doomed I say!

Re: smoking and the pub

This is excellent news. Hopefully a clear message will be communicated to our kids that smoking is not something to admire and look forward to but something that is not publically acceptable.

There is something; a smoker lying dead in a mortuary. And yes, I know he could have been run over by a bus.....

How do you know? (I'll answer for you, you don't!). Everybody made the same assumption that all the pubs in Ireland would go t*ts up when they introduced a smoking ban, if anything the ones I visit are busier.

Re: smoking and the pub

I've heard people regularly ask for cigarettes at the hospital shop when I am behind them in the queue....

It used to amuse me that there used to be a Burger King on the top floor of our hospital in the canteen where you could also buy Chips, red meat and sponge puddings galore.

The floor below there was the CCU (Coronary care unit)

The floor below that you could get a cardiac bypass.

The ground floor contained the mortuary.....

Start at the top and work your way down...

Don't get me wrong I'm in favour of the ban but if its good enough for the rest of us it should be good enough for them.

Not really - Westminster is a Royal palace and treated very differently by health and safety legislation (it may even be completely exempt, IIRC). The smoking ban is being introduced as H&S.

Don't get me wrong, I think that exemption is an outrageous anachronism and needs to be tackled in its own right. But until it is, issues such as the smoking ban will unavoidably be affected by it.

Re: smoking and the pub

Well maybe the Queen should remove all the ashtrays from her house, and tell them not to smoke in there

I agree, all this new law will never stop kiddies being forced to breath in smoke from their irresponsible parents day after day after day at home
