I no longer smoke. Been 7 months now. I have no idea why I started smoking. I was so much against smoking when I was young, but one day I picked it up. After a few years I was smoking a pack-and-a-half a day (about 37 cigs a day, here a pack is 25 cigs). Smoked for 9 years, and went cold turkey last April.

Calm yourself down, I asked if you were over exaggerating. I didn't say you were, nor did I say you were lying.

I don't smoke either, I've just never really cared about people smoking near, nor have my friends. I'd rather have a meal without half my family standing outside for half the time.

Should be up to the owners really.

I prefer only about 256/403. I guess that's why I only do it casually.

Tried:

Cigerattes,
Weed
Dope.

Dope sucks, end of.
Weed is better than sex at some points.
Cigerettes: hm....

Mates smoke (some of them), Brother smokes.
I used to smoke (not seriously mind you) but i got sick of it. Now i am used to people smoking and unless they are a chav/wanker, i have no problem with it.
All of my mates that smoke are genuinely nice people and i get along with them... Nothing wrong with it.

Weed (joints): Smoke them if offered, or at parties. Not a regular thing.
Very enjoyable. No down side...


One mate smokes around 20 a day, nice lad. Tad worrying though at 16.
Don't smoke as i said, but mainly is because i'm trying to get fit and i'm no way screwing over my lungs.

I smoked for 15 years.  I smoked between 30-40 (1 1/2-2 packs) a day, when I traveled in the car I'd smoke like a house fire.  I quit on 10/12/06 cold turkey.   Smoking is pretty much the shittiest thing in the world, it scary how addictive it is, and how hard people think it is to quit.

Never smoked, never plan on doing so, but I fully support smokers, I dont understand why they have to be treated like second class citizens sometimes. They are pretty much the only minority group which it seems 'ok' to discriminate against.

Secondly I hate the smoking ban, there is just so many problems with it. It also closed down one of my locals a month ago.

They aren't treated like second class citizens, they are just asked not to smoke in public places.  I personally don't want to go out to dinner with my family and have people blowing smoke at us while we are trying to enjoy our meal.  Just because someone wants to smoke doesn't mean they should have the right to do it where ever they want.   Just get used to the bans and restrictions, they aren't going anywhere and nor should they.

It should be up to the owner. Then smokers and people who don't mind can go to restaurants that allow it and people who hate smokers can go to a no smoking one. Should be totally up to the owner.

Definately. That's what gets me annoyed. If a pub/restaurant thought that banning smoking would make them more money then they would have pre-ban, and quite a few did (especially restaurants, and I can understand that). But in pubs, and especially country pubs, quite often the majority of people are smokers. Even in town pubs, if they thought banning smoking would bring in more money they would have done it ban or no ban. I don't understand why the government has to make up landlord's minds for them.

Its not just about the customers/landlord, people that are employed there shouldn't have to lose their job because the landlord doesn't mind if people smoke in their pub.

I went to a country pub for a meal last week and for half the time my family was outside. I might take up smoking then I'm not the only one sat inside anymore. Salute the landlords not giving into the ban and taking the fines.

1)To be fair when you applied for a job in a pub a year ago you would take into account that it is quite likely to get a bit smokey

2)Half the people who work in oubs smoke anyway, and a larger proportion don't give a damn, such as me, not that it matters now anyway

3)The open fireplace in my now only local gives out more smoke than any smokers would anyway, and they can't ban fire can they?

If given a choice, I will not eat/drink somewhere that doesn't allow smoking.  This was true when I smoked, and still true now that I've quit.  In a city with a smoking ban, I don't mind the non-smoking rule and eat/drink wherever.

It should be up to a business to decide if they allow smoking in their building or not.  Government has no place telling a business that they can't allow a LEGAL practice to take place.  As has been said over and over, if it is profitable for a business to be non-smoking, then they will be.  Those who don't like smoke should find a non-smoking venue.  Hey, it's more of a choice than the whiners gave the smokers.  Instead, it was apparently easier to fucking whine and lobby to inconvenience others AND trample the rights of the private business owner instead of inconveniencing themselves enough to vote with their wallet.  Way to go there...it sets a fine example for the next generation.
