Tonight is your last official chance to choke to death on other peoples smoke in pubs and bars - make the most of it!!!

Me? I'm looking forward to going out more once the ban come into play.
I just prefer it to be non smoky (as do many smokers)

I am all for the smoking ban in public places but i ws a bit surprised when i recieved some tickets for a gig at nottingham arena.

Basically there was a leaflet reinforcing the smoking ban, blah, blah, blah.   Then at the bottom it said that there would be no re-entry for anyone that left the venue during the gig!  Its gonna take heavy smokers a while to adjust to the new situation and i cant help thinking this is a little harsh.

I mostly only smoke when i am out so it will help me cut out no end of cigarettes

^ That is total BS. They tried pulling that sh!t here in NYC, too, but ultimately the clubs had to cave in to public demand and allow re-entry for smokers. Most venues have a roped off area outide for smokers now. I am not a smoker (quite the opposite, in fact) but found this 'rule' to be greedy and excessive!! :evil: If ppl want to go outside, put another nail in the coffin, and then come back in, WHO CARES?!

+1, i am a non smoker (apart from the odd celebratory cigar :wink:) and think it's pretty harsh to stop someone for going out for a fag and not being let back in.

yeah. i'm all in favour of the smoking ban as i don't smoke and don't like the smell, but that seems extremely excessive. Could cause a backlash too, i.e. a petition to allow smoking indoors again or something.

Yippee its here!  Great, I went to the Jack Horner in Tottenham Court Road the other day and there were 6 Japanese students chain smokiing (they all literally had 1 packet each in 2 hours).  I was ill for days: but no longer, ha ha.

I am pleased too that I have played my last gig in a smoke filled environment and that my gear will no longer be stinking of stale smoke. I think the refusal to allow them to re enter is not right however.

^ yeah, stopping them from smoking inside can be argued as protecting the health and enjoyment of non-smokers and employees.

Stopping them from returning if they go outside sounds like a nanny state thing trying to stop them from smoking altogether. or else just trying to discourage smokers. Which as 38'th says, isn't right.

:drink:

I think its just gonna make people have a crafty fag inside the venues rather than risk not being allowed back in.

I tend to find i smoke more at gigs because of the waiting between bands with nothing to do,  although we should all be able to go a few hours without a fag - its the kind of situation that really makes you want one!

the whole rule about not being allowed back in at gigs- i've never heard of that targeting smokers specifically...

i've been to loads of gigs where the venue just doesn't let people in full stop after they've left... smoker or not.

^ yeah, i know, but smokers are more than likely going to be the ones to want to leave, lol. I'm certainly not suggesting that just smokers be allowed out. if you have a ticket, you should be allowed back in. if you feel ill or something (hey, it could happen!) you might need to go out for some air.

^funnily enough that was what happened to me recently- at a gig in london after the first two bands i felt extremely dehydrated... but wasn't allowed out/in again just because that was policy.

^ i assume they don't allow it because if they did they'd have everyone running in and out, but yeah, it seems extreme, especially if you have a good reason.

when you go to see a show they let you out for a fag in the interval, cant see why it wouldbe that much of a problem to just stamp hands or something and let people come and go as they please

the not-letting-people-in-again deal is frickin stupid. they give you a stamp (about which a friend threw a hissy fit over.. heh.) or a handband.
