Smoking Ban

[Serhiy]

Ban,ban,ban..... So, time to smoking e-cigarette.

When is all going to stop targeting the smokers.

Smoking breaks are to be a thing of the past for workers at Gedling Borough Council after local politicians agreed to enforce a ban.
Staff will be told they aren't allowed to have a break for a crafty cigarette from the start of next year and must also cover their council uniform when lighting up

We shall fight them on the beaches!

Problem is, with every inch they take now, there's a mile coming somewhere down the line. Or am I being far too cynical for my relative youth?

[Matt Wall]

I only smoke outside due to my family not liking it so for me this isn't great news. I can maybe understand beaches but as long as it doesn't spread to banning EVERYWHERE outside then we should be okay, he says...

Can't smoke outside school when picking up our kids
because children will see us smoking a pipe or chomping on a robusto
and think look at the man smoking think i'll try my dads pipe when I get home
might pinch a couple of his robusto's to share with my mates behind the bike shed
what a load of bo###cks

Brave child that takes a few sticks without permission!! Dont know hwo much teenage pocketmoney a behike would take... But i'm guessing not many to the pound!

Matter of time pubs will go the same way as milk floats.

Can't smoke in them already, they're classed as places of work

Some doctor on the BBC news this morning stated as a fact, lots of pubs were expected to close after the smoking ban but it didn't happened. What?! That's not what I have read & heard elsewhere or are they now going to claim it was only due to cheap alcohol in the supermarkets?

My neighbours hide behind their shed to smoke out of sight of their children. Never mind that I can smell it in my garden. Makes me laugh when I'm talking to them over the fence with a stogie in my mouth

Makes no difference wether they smoke in front of them behind them in the shed
when them kids grow up and start going out and about with friends I bet sooner or later they be smoking
never smoked in front of my 2 while they were growing up so they woulden't copy
how wrong I was when my son started going out with the lads one night the wife found a lighter in his trouser pocket
before putting them in the wash, she confronted him about it he replied looking after it for a mate ,yer looking after it my arse
well going forward he now smokes a pipe Cuban cigars a rollies at work.

Ha ha sounds like a fast show comedy sketch!

[TonyN]

Don't go to the pub very often but I think if this goes ahead pubs will loose a lot of money in my opinion.

[PeeJay]

Exactly was I said about having a smoke in the garden the neighbours might complain
about the smell of our cigars.

I've enjoyed quite a few smokes in parks in what little summer we've had, a few free concerts and the like. While always conscious of those around me who may not like the smell it'll be a real shame if they ban smoking in these places.

Next you'll be banned from smoking in your own garden because the second hand smoke affects your neighbours. Wonder if they'll ban BBQs next? Surely they're a bigger polluter of personal airspace or is the acrid smoke from burning meat not as bad for you?
