Re: smoking and the pub
There's no evidence to suggest that will happen though.

Re: smoking and the pub
Can't we just ban students instead?

Re: smoking and the pub
Let's see when the ban is enforced. There are already abandoned/for sale pubs in my area due to off-licence sales and i can only see more pubs closing if they deny loyal customers the right to share a drink and a ciggie.
I predict a huge loss of jobs and income because of this

Re: smoking and the pub
I've said before that you cannot compare Ireland to the North West of England! We are a different culture and a different frameset of mind.

Re: smoking and the pub
I'm not talking about one certain region, I'm talking about the UK as a whole. And I've been to Ireland enough times to wonder why you think there is such a cultural difference.

Re: smoking and the pub
I can't talk about the UK as a whole i can only point to three pubs that have closed due to off licence sales in my home town. I can imagine a smoking ban closing more down.
I've never been to Ireland but they are pro European something that i will never be.
But we digress

Re: smoking and the pub
Anyone who wants a smoke while they are out in Ireland just goes outside, the restaurants are used to it and most pubs/clubs have a back door the open up for the smokers to nip in and out.
Sales may have gone down for a small while but imho its not been a massive deal.
Yeah, I know its the Republic you were referring to, as am I.

Re: smoking and the pub
Why should i have to skulk out the back door for a cig like a naughty school boy? I've legally bought twenty fags and paid a vast amount of tax for them so why can't i sit in a room designated to smokers in a pub that i've frequented for years? Where are my rights??

Re: smoking and the pub
I smoke too, but personally it doesn't bother me going outside. I don't smoke in my own house because my husband doesn't like it and its not fair to force my smoking habit on to him. 
Just think about those who work in the bar / restaurant who are subjected to the smoke day in, day out. If you are asking where your rights are, where are theirs?
