probably, but the smell of the "great unwashed" suddenly becomes very
obvious - as does the smell from the toilets.


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.


I've often 'filmed' in pubs in the morning before opening time - much
cheaper that way. And they all stink. Not noticeably of smoke either -
usually stale beer.

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?


I'm sure it won't be completely, but it's a lot more enforceable than
the drink-related stuff, and even that is a lot better than nothing.

Cheers,

Colin.

From the middle of this year, there will be a total ban on
smoking in public places.

Best law that has ever been passed in Scotland where we have had
it in place for a year.

You can now smell things other than smoke in bars....


It's not that much of a problem, really, and so much better than the
stink of cigarettes.


Indeed. And the health of bar workers will improve as well.



Nobody held a gun to their heads to work in a bar, and if you banned
anything remotely dangerous then you'd have to ban the armed forces and
numerous other professions.

And the people visiting them.



If there were non-smoking pubs then you would have been free to go to one of
those.


It's really liberating to go to a
country (e.g. Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Norway, Italy etc.) and
simply not to have to worry about smoke...



You "worry" about passive smoking? I suggest you stop your habit of crossing
roads immediately, because it's simply far too risky.

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.


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...



"For us all"? Are Airwick going to produce cigs that don't produce any smoke
then?

Now before you all flame me, I'm not a smoker and never have been,
but I find this unbelievable!

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!





most smokers tend to be in total denial - they refuse to accept that
they are drug addicts.



So is everybody that wants a cup of tea or coffee in the morning to perk
themselves up, but somehow they don't have the same stigma.


as such they should be glad they can indulge their habit anywhere -



That has to be the most idiotic thing that's ever been said on Usenet,
surely?


they shouldnt be able to rub our noses in it anywhere.



You were going to get your no-smoking pubs, so you would've thought people
like yourself would be happy. But oh no, smoking pubs shouldn't be allowed
because the Nazis don't smoke.


a decent next step would be to make it illegal for those with
children to smoke at all and a total ban on any public smoking.



I'd prefer a total ban on Nazis, personally.

There are hardly any, due to laziness on the part of pub owners mostly.

The Italian law in a way was the best.

Not at all- especially if you hate the smell.

People jump out of aeroplanes for pleasure every day, and you actually worry
about smell?
