I'm also a reformed smoker, so irritatingly pious as a matter of course

[staceyb]

Good now I can go have a decent night out and not feel like I've swallow a chimney. A big from me.

[Mrs Trackside]

Seriously?

I only smoke when I'm very very very drunk.

[Mrs Fish]

James here:

Even though I'm not keen on smoking and I don't smoke, I totally dissagree, if people want to snoke and the publican allows it then why not.

Why should some person tell other people what to do if it doesn't hurt them...

Absolutely disgusting

[kojak]

Thats good, and I smoke....although its only the odd hamlet. No more stinking like an ashtray.

[tallbloke]

Bad, more loss of choice. Should have kept it legal in private clubs IMO.

Another here.

It's already enforced in Scotland, so are you saying England and Wales have followed suit?

no...we thought of it first....we just tried it out on the minority

Can't say it affects me personally as i rarely drink out these days. Not that im happy about yet another incursion of peoples freedom.

[lord summerisle]

to be truthful i dont think we'll see much change... especially in some areas.

on Channel 4 news the guy from the social club said it all... he can see folk 'defying' the ban as whoes gonna stop them, in this instance the law is an ass.








BTW i dont smoke, and hate smoke... but... i'm fed up of gov. banning everything they can.

[paulie-mafia]

A good move in the long run, but I gave up 2 weeks ago and finally cracked today. Try again..

[bcom tom]

Good news as far as I'm concerned. They banned smoking over here in Spain in the new year, and it is so nice to be able to come back from a night out without having to soak all your clothes in Febreeze!!!

[groucho]

I don't smoke any more but I'm not sure if I agree to this, especially private members clubs.

[The Wiz]

Another small bit of fredom trampld underfoot by a bunch of socialist do-gooders. Whats next?
