Yeah, the pubs round here are loving it, there are no smokers in them ... oh hang on, they're closed .. there's no-one in them.
Nevermind, at least us lepers may smoke at home.

It's certainly nice to go home after a Friday night at the pub, without having my clothes stink of ciggy smoke.
Quite a few in my local have given up - the few that remain go out into the pub's forecourt.

I like not having to breath other folks filth and not stinking of ciggy smoke is nice but now all the pubs smell of toilets, stale beer carpets and

My local pub seems busier than ever - it has a lot of live music and many new faces who were put of by the selfish smokers making everyone stink are
now going out. My other local is quieter but thats more down to the change of landlord.
Afraid i am not at all prepared to be diplomatic on this subject and am 100% behind the ban. Best thing they have done IMHO

It's great. I get a feeling of smugness when I see the poor addicted smokers standing outside in the cold.
The problem now seems to be fag butts all over the ground, is there a selfishness drug in tobacco smoke?

As a non smoker I say bring it back and encourage you smokers.
Our wonderful government are losing huge amounts of revenue from you and they'll keep
hitting me, the motorist harder to compensate.

I totally agree, a lot better for it
It’s so ironic now, that the folk who took it up to be with the in crowd now find themselves all alone in the cold and rain, puffing away in their
little drug shelter  Mocked at for being so smelly (if only they knew how much)
I worked in many places that the only canteen was thick with smoke, I don’t miss that one bit.

Ihave found the smoking ban mildly disappointing - I like pubs again after many years avoiding them because I would come out after just a quick half
stinking of cigarette smoke - so it's great that I can go in them again.
I am only disappointed because the smoking in public places ban doesn't include public streets outdoors - it's hard to walk in the street
now without having to walk through clouds of smoke from all the people taking the opportunity to kill themselves a bit more in between banned
areas.
I think that they should put the tax up on cigarettes so that if 50% of people give up then they should double the tax to make sure the rest of us
don't lose out
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

...all the smokers who put thousands of non-smokes in an early grave simply because they insisted they had the right to smoke regardless of everyone
else?

Fags
I think we should get prescribed free smokes as an addiction. Like bag/crack heads who have been doing it 25 years and still no closer to quitting.
Oh yeah! then claim sickness benefit and DLA, mug people when we`re short, do the odd bit of burglary and shoplifting. After all, it is a recognized
addiction.
Then the state could sell government backed smack and tax em for it `cos they would have to work and prove where their money came from to qualify.
Mmmm an idea lol

Can get loads of treatment to help smokers quit on the NHS already!! Patches, gum, tablets etc, as well as support. Why should the NHS pay for fags
for people who wont quit anyway?? Most stupid idea in ages on this site!!!

I'm afraid i have heard so many ridiculous arguments in the past 18 months from unbelievably self centred smokers that i wouldnt believe it was
a joke (unless Andi confirms). Having lost 3 grandparents as a result of smoking and having had to avoid smokey places in the past as it affected me
when playing semi pro level sport (and yes i could feel the effects of passive smoking on my fitness) i am 100% anti-smoking (so appologies for anyone
bothered by my anti-smoking views!! )
