Not just in pubs, everywhere. I think it is awful seeing groups of smokers outside of buildings smoking away and outside the gates of schools, got a bit silly imho.

Agreed.

Just dislike the idea of having to walk through a fug of reek just to get into a place, never mind actually spend some cash once I get within....

[The Red Baron]

i agree it has got silly, im glad i got out the pub trade b4 the ban came in. but as you say, the crowds outside shops etc is not nice to see.

[Gaffers]

I went to the bodies exhibit in New York and there were organs from smokers in there.....

.....glad I quit several years ago  

[hotel21]

Years ago, stag do's around this way were called 'smokers' mainly because the participants were locked in a room to get sh!tfaced over the course of the night on a barrell of beer supplied by the groom, and they supplied the smokes....  how things have changed - for the better, I may add....

I'm pleased to say that after sitting around smoking far too many when camping at the Lakes I haven't had one since, and don't miss it in the slightest.

On the subject of pubs, the only disadvantage of them becoming non smoking is that you can now smell all the other smells that were masked by the smoke. That's not a good thing in many cases.

I think the more people become used to a smoke-free envionment the more offensive the smell, when you do smell it, IYSWIM. The office at work has the usual "bus shelter" at the other side of the car park but if you have the windows open when the wind's in the wrong direction...

I agree most establishments would be better off having a smoking room inside, maintained at negative pressure with a couple of decent extractor fans. That strategy works for toilets, after all. The pavements wouldn't be littered with dog ends then either.

Ahh, but more social problems are caused by drink than smoking. Fighting, throwing up in the street, urinating in the street etc.
I would rather step on fag buts than something someone has thrown up.
The smoking ban is the thin end of the wedge, smokers have been almost criminalised like drivers. The next target will be drinkers.
Before you support any ban, just think why are they doing this.

October 7th marks 28 years since I last had a f*g.

A smokers cough that just would not disappear, vanished within 2 weeks of giving up the dreaded weed.

Now I was a 30 a day man back in 1980, so I'll do the maths. 28x365x30 a day = 306,600 which I would have smoked but have'nt.

I don't know how much f*g money I would have saved, if I hadn't spent it all on booze, fast women, motorbikes and illegal substances. But thats another story.

I do remember that my last packet of fags, 20 Gold leaf, cost me the princely sum of 51p.

Has anyone noticed that certain f*g brands disappear. When I was young everyone seemed to smoke Players No.6, or Players No.10 if they were short of cash.

As kids we used to buy the cigarettes in the prettiest packets. Carlton (purple). Consulate. And when we were feeling daring we would buy a packet of Capstan Full Strength, which used to blow your head off.

Anyone know if any of these brands still exist? Anyone tried giving up, and failed or succeeded?

Not had a ciggy since January, still get the feeling for one though

[sir moanalot]

thank the lord i never started, i have always hated the smell from my parents when they smoked and now my daughter is the same as me - hates her mums smoke !
