Do You Support A Change In The Law Allowing Pubs And Bars To Reintroduce Smoking Areas?
http://
Seems like a backward step to me, especially as bars and clubs already have 'properly ventilated smoking areas' (it's called 'outside').
What are your thoughts?
A vote winner?

In fairness this is something which will never happen. I am surprised that UKIP think it might be a vote winner for them. They did not, as I recall, mention it in their manifesto launch, probably not surprisingly. In the nightmare scenario where Nigel was in No 10 I think it would be quietly dropped.

Cards on the table, I'm in an extremely small minority. I'm 'light smoker'. I smoke about 10'cigs a day, but I also run 15km a day.
I personally love the fact that when I'm in a pub, I'm forced onto the street for a cigarette, because it makes smoke a lot less.
I personally don't think that we should make it 'easy to smoke'. Second hand smoke affects those who work in pubs and bars, and besides that, smoking-related disease costs the NHS millions each year...

I would support designated smoking areas in a pub or bar with certain provisios. A company would be given a choice to provide areas if they had the room and money to do so. They would have to have extractor fans within the enclosed area and adequate arrangements to avoid smoke coming into the rest of the pub/bar non smoking area.
I was not a light cigarette smoker .I was a heavy cigarette smoker from the age of about 14yrs until 6 years ago .A period of 60years. I really miss the baccy but do you know what.I now hate the smell of it. As I turn the corner of the street to enter my Weatherspoons we have our cafe society tables outside the entrance with people puffing away with gay abandon.I fight my way through the entrance which is blocked my smokers ankle deep in butts.The front double doors and large windows are open in this fine weather.As I sit and try to enjoy my pint and a meal I watch all the fag smoke being sucked back into the pub. I have often remarked that our smoking friends might as well come back in and join us.
They thoughtfully provide a ash tray box attached to the wall by the front entrances.On the few occasions these ash trays are used the result is a conflagration where members of staff are seen hastily filling ice buckets and rushing out to gallantly fight the fire. Smoking is a life style choice.My choice was give up or die but I don't object whatsoever if people wish to smoke but not where I have to breath the fumes and see the resulting pile of butts over the thoroughfare which others have to pick up.I believe it is better to coral smokers, if space allows, within the premises.

Sorry if you are puzzled.I thought you confessed to enjoy "walking" in the green green grass of home and you had proved to this date that the Catholic priests were wrong that if you continued "walking" you would need glasses.
Obviously walking fuzzes your brain also but does not necessarily impair your vision unless you wear rose tinted spectacles. :-)

Only repeating what you were happy to post.When it comes back to bite you in the butt you now say it is drivel.
Perhaps,as said earlier ,your excessive "walking" has dimmed your memory banks.

Mush.... as a boy growing up in the 60's, we were always being warned off excessive walking. The difficulty is, that nobody took the trouble to define
"excessive" ! We were also warned that it would make us blind.
But I was having so much fun, that I thought I might continue until I needed glasses !
