2004 - The Republic of Ireland becomes the first country in the world to ban smoking in all work places, including bars and restaurants. 3 years today, as a smoker, it fully works and wouldn't go back the way it was

Are you saying that you smoke but wouldn't want to reverse the ban?
Confused.

not at all, as a smoker, ban should be kept!! everyone smokes outside NINJA, just as in pubs or in beergardens, once fully enforced everywhere no problems, also will discover the wonderful world of smirting

My mate Ben is slavering like a hound at the prospect of smirting, I find that faintly tragic!

I thought they could do it in the beer gardens? I was under the impression the ban covered "enclosed public spaces" - so were the landlord to set up a gazebo outside to smoke under, that'd be okay.

It should be.... there needs to be some sense with this. If people wanna kill themselves without harming others (not going into the taxpayer issue now) then let them....

indeed but cinemas have only been about for a fraction of the time as pubs so didnt get the chance to build up such a solid tradition also POPCORN + FAG = fooking nasty combo of bag breath and shit in your teeth

I think it's fair enough as those of us who smoke are in many cases pretty fucking pissed off with the endless politically-correct attacks on our choices. That said, "worreva"
