So they should clean the toilets then. It's really not been a problem in
non-smoking bars I've been to.


Toilets can be cleaned before opening time and they can stink by closing
time. It depends on the habits of the users.


And how often they clean the toilets.

From the middle of this year, there will be a total ban on smoking in
public places. No pubs or clubs can even have a smoking room for
people who fancy a fag!

The only place to be allowed such a smokers room is, guess where? The
house of commons !!!!


Actually smoking is still to be allowed in *all* royal palaces.


and, interesting, on a theatrical stage if needed for artistic integrity.


Really? Not in Scotland AFAIK. Here, TV Studios are regarded as
enclosed places of work. The poor actors are having to smoke incense
fags..lol

If you can smell the toilets consider how much care that the publican
gives to other hygiene matters. Is that same bit of rag used to clean
the ash trays, to make the beer pumps sparkle and to shine the sinks and
toilet bowls?

Once a few pubs have been cleaned properly people may start realise
that the pub trade didn't always buy a ****ty brown colour paint to
decorate their walls and ceilings.

stopping you from smelling nasty lavatories is one of the worst excuses for
smoking i ever did read.

It wasn't an 'excuse', I don't smoke - I don't like smoking. But, it is a
fact of life in some pubs that tobacco smoke masks the smell from the
toilets.

And in what way will it be a bad thing for customers to realise that the
toilets had always smelt bad?

I've often wondered about this whole incense, joss stick, aroma candle
burning - surely the particulates must be dodgy for health,

I certainly won't allow it in my hovel!

If smell-masking is all fag-smoke was ever doing for us, I guess Air
Wick could single-handedly save the post-ban situation for us all...

I gather the sale of scented candles has increased remarkably in Ireland
since the ban on smoking in pubs.

Airwick is a bit too pungent ;-(

Also, since you're dragging drink into it, it's worth pointing out
that it is already illegal to drink to the point where other members
of the public become adversely affected. The new law will only bring
smoking into line with this.


Ah. So it won't be enforced, then?
