Cigarette Smoke
Will the upcoming smoking ban reduce pub attendance? I actively seek no-smoking pubs. I drink at pubs daily. I eat at pubs every opportunity I get. I hate cigarette smoke. I find it rude when I am given the choice: breathe in other people’s smoke, or leave.
Roll on July, the no smoking ban, and getting home smelling of something other than other people’s acrid smoke.
I actively seek smoking pubs. It’s a cultural thing, socializing and smoking goes together.

My hometown (Columbia, Missouri) recently had a smoking ban and apparently the hickville where I live now (Kirksvile, Missouri) may follow suit which will surprise me. Of course, it surprises me that the UK and Ireland has banned smoking in public.
I read today that the EU may ban smoking in public. This would be great.

Actually pubs are for socialising. Anti-social wankers like you shouldn’t be welcome in them.

Willhelmet May 31st, 2007 at 11:49I understood what you said, I just disagree that smoking is any part of what pubs are for. Most people agree with me. Enjoy being the minority.
