sod that Mavis. So much better to go into a pub and not have to fight your way through the smoke or leave absolutely stinking of it.

have smoking and non smoking pubs…. DUHHHHH

I hate coming home of a night stinking of smoke. I have never smoked and would be a liar if i said they shouldnt ban it. I am glad its banned in public from the summer, but i do feel sorry for smokers as after a drink…so i am told that its nice to light up. But less lung damage is much better.

It has been proven that smoke is a killer. Why should people who recognise this and do something about it (I:E not smoke) have to put up with damaging their health? Smoking affects many others around you….drinking alcahol does not, drug taking does not.

I am for the ban. Smoke travels and if you work in a bar you have no choice but to breathe it in. I know the ban is limiting the choice for smokers – but really, the message has got to get through somehow – your actions are slowly killing people who do not have a choice either when you selfishly smoke.
