it's a ban so that people can have a smoke free work area, so all indoor places (including pubs) will have it, outside, if you dont like it move

I think to say Fuck off to the cinema is a bit strong, but I acceot your point that the boozer is a place for beer, ciggies and craic... there just needs to be a middle ground... i didnt see a problem with the 1st idea of leaving it up to the pub itself. that way in all your jazzy little bars and the like peeps could go and have their smoke free eve. but the local...........thats just going TOO far All that I think there should be is an area for no smoking so that everyone's happy.... we're not too far off the mark now, but I think a total ban is a bad idea! (and I haven't had a smoke since November!)

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 fair enough fella. just saying, I don't remember it myself, I'm not that old - but you definitely used to be able to!

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" I'm not sure which side of the fence you were then Julioness.... do you think a compromise is fair.... or do you want things ALL your own way

I'm not looking for an argument though, it just annoys me. Hard to move though it seems to have caught on everywhere... the anti-smoking lobby is spreading... like smallpox!

Needs to be a middle ground; though why the government couldn't save everyone hassle and just pay for decent extractor fans to be installed, I don't know... It'd probably be cheaper than policing this ban!

ive been told by my assisstant boss at the pub where i work that you cannot smoke in a place that has 3 or more sides, (and most beer gardens are walled)
and that includes a roof, apparently u wont be able to smoke in 2 walled bus shelters with a roof because that = 3 sides

I'm not sure which side of the fence you were then Julioness.... do you think a compromise is fair.... or do you want things ALL your own way why not have pubs where you can smoke, and others where you can't? seems reasonable unless you live in some hick village with only one pub! there are enough bar workers who smoke I'm sure to staff them too...

First time I went back to Dublin and sat in a small pub drinking lemonade *cough * with my aunts once this smoking ban was in place was fantastic. I can't wait for it to happen here, nothing bugs me more than sitting in restuarants / bars with smoke wafting all over the place ! Most anti-social if you ask me

I kick the cat... the cat pounces on the mouse... and the mouse... bites you in the backside!" ;D Indeed, and lead to fewer public order offences! ;D

Believe me Jules, that falls in the same boat as communism. Great idea, but doesn't work in practice!
