like it or hate it

any one given them up

Glad i gave up when i did - i would have hated having to go outside the pub to have a quick smoke

I think its unfair and hate it. There should be bars/pubs that are smoking and some that are non-smoking. I'm certainly that many of pubs/bars and nightclubs are loosing out too.....

Most of the time it`s OK but when on holiday in England a few weeks ago was amazed to be in a bar that hade a " Large indoor Smoking Area "

Why Can`t all of them have a room with Expellant Fans and a simple door to close it off from the rest of the building, or better still let the owners of bars and clubs etc. decide if their building would be smoking or non smoking. We are not kids and everyone could have the same choice. It would seem that alchohol is causing the Health service more concern than tobacco

I'm a smoker and it hasn't bothered me i just go out side or do without a ciggie.

well im a cook in a pub self employed and it has hit me greatly. it's peoples choice whether they smoke or not. but many of pubs are feeling the pinch. the person who runs the pub were i am is now selling up. so where does that leave me, also when winter comes no one wants to go outside in the cold and rain, they might as well stay at home.

i think its unfair for anybody to tell people what they can or cannot do its not a free place anymore we are spyed on all the time and now told what we cant do its not a nice feeling in this country anymore, i want freedom of choice theres no prize alot of people are leaving the uk huh! shocking

i think its stupid banning it in pubs.... i mean ppl usually smoke when out socialising and drinking.... fair ample in public places but i mean its not that easy to stop for some ppl and when i was in hospital last week there were old ppl and sick ppl having to walk ages to the road so they could have a fag... fair ample smoking is bad, i do smoke but not alot, but for old ppl to be having to stand out in the cold.... i mean what are ppl gonna do in the winter, i cosidered it wouldnt go via cus ppl would just smoke anyway but it does seem to be working, i've never been out drinking since i returned back to england from working abroad so i dunno how hectic it's outside all the bars but i can imagine it'll be a bit of a nightmare. Really they should have designed somewhere in these places where ppl can smoke even if it was just a little space.

i don't go out anymore,my bar is always open.-----------in norway people socialise in log cabins at the bottom of thier properties. but that's because alcohol is so expensive.
