will they ban the ban???
I saw a local M.P on T.V this week he was saying that the government should re think the smoking ban as it is considered to be one of the factors of the 35 pubs a week shutting down, I agree with him, but i also think that the government should re think the vat on beer and spirits. and what was wrong with the old smoke rooms . what does everyone else think?

Okay,the government brought in the ban without consulting the people who helped vote them in.A democatic country no more...you do as we wish.I cant believe the smokers of this country just let it happen,or some compromise was reached (i.e as abroad...landlords discretion,seperate smoking room etc).Smoking related illness' strain on NHS? Hells bells seen casualty at weekends due to drink related violence & injuries or wards with drink related illness'.You dont get smokers being paid for their addiction (alcoholics get money towards drink,i'm led to believe,on DHSS)Bottom line...the government were under pressure to either sacrifice tax from drink or fags & drink won(in a nutshell).Just me throwing my 2 cents in,if it does'nt make much sense.

I had a complaint made to me today, by a non smoker, he said 'It wasnt so bad when people smoked in the pub, but there is nothing worse than the smoke at the entrance to a pub! It is overpowering getting in the door, roll on when they change the rules back!'

I doubt that the government will overturn the ban....when did they ever do anything that was popular?
when did they ever take notice of what the voters want? maybe when all the public houses have gone to the wall, and it is too late they will wake up and realise that this could have been dealt with in a different way. |

Apparently smoking is still permitted in one of the House of Commons bars???????
Since the smoking ban on airlines there are far more incidents of chest complaints/colds etc. They used to use 3 air scrubbers and take in a greater percentage of fresh air. Now they take in far less air and don't use 3 air scrubbers - saves fuel and therefore makes more money for the airlines |

Yes Less, I gave up bothering a long time ago. Just stick a patch on if I am on a long haul flight and I was used to meetings of 6 hours or so which were non-smoking, so it has never bothered me.

Re: will they ban the ban???
to say the demise of the local boozer is all because of the smoking ban is rubbish...I smoke and if I fancy a pint a smoking ban has never stopped me...in fact I don't know of anyone that has stopped going to the pub because they'd rather stay indoors and smoke!...it's not a very big factor in pubs closing.
