[batt22]

mark and tc spot on m8s anyway i been out tonight a few little clubs how the hell are they gonna police this lol gonna be some ****e going on i thought by getting the tory gov out we would be better off how wrong was aye cos we are stuck with the \"im all right jack \" ******** of this world no more voting labour for me sad times we live in i honestley thought the non smokers of this part of the land would see what this gov is upto but alas no

[batt22]

had a beer or two with a m8 who runs a bar an old working mans bar allways has been no glitz just a fine bar no trouble finish work call in have a pint a smoke (most do) i asked him how are you gonna cope with this new rule he said i\'ll shut shop this crap gov aint thought it through as usual anyway i really am thinking of trying to give it up again my best was 5 days then my mrs went out bought me a packet cos i was a bad to live with i\'ll try again cos i can see all these im allright jack pricks having a laff as we stand outside the clubs and pubs and i dont wanna go to prison

what is it with the once proud ppl of britain who now roll over and let stupid laws dictate sad times
anyway im sure in the years to come we will have more bans to talk abouut with this labour gov

[marksworld]

what else can they ban?
they would love to get rid of motorbikes?.
cars?.
religious beliefs?.
they are gettig rid of us smokers in public, next will be the anti social drinkers and binge drinkers, which most of us are acording to the goverment because we drink more than 3 pints when out.
aybody think of anything else?, bet you can.
me dad says that in a few years we will all be fitted with micro chips(not the ones ya eat) so we are monitered 24 hours a day, there wiil be no such thing as cash or cards. the little chip in your arm will have all that info stored on it. by the way me dad can be a little strange now and then just like his son. lol.
like bat said he will no longer vote labour. i voted labour too but not anymore, this goverment is in it for themselves not us

some smokers are saying we should have a choice to smoke in pubs . what about us non smokers who have no choice when people light up in pubs , best thing the government has done 4 ages

why should non smokers have the right enforce their wishes on someone else if they were in a \'smokers pub\'??

if you don\'t want to be around it go somewhere else

why not say ok, ok in year 1 50% of pub smoke free, and reduce it by 5% over 10 years

just read an interesting articel by \'forest\' (the smokers capaign group) the new law may actually be illegal under a couple of EU acts and human rights legislation and they are thinking of challenging it in brussels

no seeing as the EU is largely run by the french(!) who smoke like the proverbial chimney, it might actually work!

[Les]

what a lot of people seem to be missing is that the legislation is being put into place not to protect non-smokers like me when i go into a pub or club, but to protect the staff from a possible vile death from cancer through breathing second hand smoke while just trying to earn a crust.

also you will find if a smoker lights up after the ban in a pub it is the landlord that gets fined not the ignorant ****wit who lights up because it\'s \"against his/her (imaginary) human rights\"

just imagine the fun we non-smokers are going to have watching all the beagles outside trying to light up a damp fag with a damp match in a force 8 gale and ****ing rain :P

better than football on the telly or a game of pool any day

just think, for us up here in just 5 weeks we can go out to the pub with a clean shirt on, then get up in the morning, check it for beer stains and wear it for another day because it\'s not stinking of minging fags

wooo hooo

i gather your not a smoker les
hehehe

[Les]

no sh!t sherlock

sless,

i watched my dad rot for 3 years with lung cancer caused by smoking, watched him go from a relatively fit (for a smoker) man out every night training his dogs to a scared haunted old man who was lucky if he was 5 stone when he died

even after giving up for 12 years it still got him in the end, even now myself, everytime i have a cold i have a cough for about a month after caused by secondhand smoke with living and working with him for 25 years

the only good thing, if you can call it good, that came out of it is my boys saw him go horribly and my oldest in particular will never smoke from what he saw his grandad go through

here\'s a thought then, how many of you have been beaten up, hassled, threatened in a pub by someone who has smoked too many tabs??

no usually they are ****ed up, but most of the ****s that cause trouble in pubs also smoke because when they were young they started smoking because they thought it made them look harder.

see, we can all generalise, not hard

[sless]

totaly agree with you there les

hook line and sinker!!
