How are people finding the smoking ban then? As a non smoker i think its better in every way.

It would be interesting to hear from smokers to see if they now see it as better too, but were dead aginst it before it came into force. I know a few smokers that now think its better than before. Not too sure how they'll feel in the winter though as many places still havnt put shelters outside yet.

 

but dont pubs stink.............????..........

 

i love it, you can go for a few pints and actually breathe.

and another nice thing is when you wake up in the morning after a night out, you and your bed dont reek of fags, and your clothes dont stink your room out.

i have never smoked as it just stinks!!!!!

 

As a smoker ive acually found it better as i smoke less now, it was something i was never against in the first place i just feel sorry for ppl who make ashtrays

 

As a non smoker, I love it

 

I like it and don't like..... I am a smoker BTW.... Tho I tried to quit on the 1st June/July/whenever the fuck it was - failed tho

In the pub I don't mind TOO much, and I do tend to smoke less as I am lazy to go outside

Playing pool in the pool club sucks tho as it's top floor, so 3 flights of stairs to go down + up, plus gotta use a buzzer to get in.....

At work - well we weren't really allowed to smoke inside anyway, so now when we do go outside it's 3 or 4 of us, so get to have a 5mins break and a little chat, which ain't so bad......

In the van - still smoking in it, and anyone who tells me otherwise gets one of these -->



But whilst the pubs don't stink of smoke, they now stink of cheap colonge and stale farts

 

They still stink of beer though..... you notice it more now the fag smoke has been eliminated.

 

I don't mind it either way, I quit when the ban come in and 6 weeks to the day still not smoking

Well done mate! I tried, and failed Managed about 3 weeks, but there you go

 

best thing the government has done alongside ireland........

 

I'm a smoker, I don't mind the ban tbh. Got used to it visiting relatives in the republic of ireland over the years so it's no biggy. Only arse is I can't smoke in me wagon at work anymore which I think is daft cos I'm only ever in it. Still I've cut down loads so it's not costing as much these days

 

Bout the ONLY thing our government has ever done

 

I quit the day it came in.... And so far so good!

Not even been tempted.... It fucking stinks and I find it pretty funny when half the pub dissapears onto the street!

I think its great, i'm a non smoker myself and to come out of a pub and not smell of cigarettes is fantastic!

Only downside is that we live opposite a communty centre and when they have partys etc. on at the wekend, the pavement outside is absolutely covered with dog ends, its disgusting!

We've written to the council about it, see if they provide somewhere to get rid of them.

 

absolutley fine.

1st weekend it happened i noticed pubs/clubs smelt different, not noticed it at all now.

certainly havent changed busyness, atmosphere, fuck all, in pubs n clubs. maybe in "local" pubs or whatever, but not anywhere i give a toss about.

Birds smoking is rank anyhow, and dont give a fuck what blokes do.

 

better all round !

 

Much better now

 

true, but its still a couple of things more than any other

 

i think its great but weve had it for a year yes some pubs will close but on the whole i can go out and my eyes dont nip and im not stinking of fag reek anymore

 

Its fucking great, went out Friday night 7 till 12ish, got up Saturday morning picked shirt up off floor, had a smell, fresh as a daisy so i wore it all day just for lounging round house etc...last month wudda been in wash bin straight away.

 

me and my mates just going round each others houses now, instead of out. Cheaper as well.

 

I help run a club now in my spare time and we have found that numbers
are not affected too much but as we have a large outside area, everyone
tends to be outside if not on the dance floors, (4 rooms)

As we have a 1650 capacity, when the nights are warm and dry, the place
feels empty even though the dance floors are full as people are all outside
even many non smokers.!

Also find that many people have hygene issues that were covered up by
the cigarette smoke... smelly coonts
We now have to use fragranced smoke fluid

From my point of view, all the electonics in here stays cleaner much
longer, which makes my life easier and reduces running costs.

And yes I dont smoke

 

PMSL @ the though of some sad bunch of "hardcore smokers" sat in some stinking living room on their own cause they are so badly addicted they cant face the thought of venturing out somewhere they cant smoke without wandering outside

 

Its the nuts... to be able to come home from a night out and NOT stink of fags is just great...


Smokers suck !!

 

LMFAO so sad yet so true
