was in the pub garden of my local about a month ago was a nice evening so sitting out with a couple of friends with a drink and smoking when the people on the next table had the cheek to complain about the smoke, where did they want me to go??
incedentally im for the smoking ban in certian pubs where the ventelation is bad/food is served but overall i would have said the landlord's should have been able to choose wether they allowed smoking or not if there was adequate ventellation etc.

I used to smoke, then I stopped in Feb of this year prior to a trip home to Australia where my whole family is anti-alcohol and smoking. I still hanker for one nearly every day...I know of the potential side effects on my health, I know it stinks, I know everything there is bad to know about it....But I miss it as it was only time I got 5 minutes to myself in this crazy world and a bit of me time, frankly as educated as I am - I couldn't give a stuff what it did to me... odd way of thinking really...

I quit last year........ but then the pain and the drugs took over my body and packing up became one battle too many so now i'm a smoker again. I'll try again but only when the pain has gone and the drugs are no longer needed.

Hope you continue to succeeed Tede.....(i,m an utter failure I,m afraid).It is an odd way of thinking, but personally I find it mentally draining worrying about smoking, cholesterol, lack of exercise, not enough fruit, too much stress etc etc etc........... I,d rather just get on and live.............until I die..............job done...LOL..!

Well if you will tip three legged nags who most would consider past it giving rides on Blackpool Beach what do you expect?
Agreed LB, the statistical assessment is that ON AVERAGE smokers die seven years younger than non-smokers. But none of us live an average life.

Yes but you are not being force to share people's smoke anymore are you. you have your smoking ban but that is not enough for you is it ?. You want to impose a ban on people's free will and not allow them to be allowed to smoke in an open beer garden or smoke in their own homes I would imagine. Well I don;t want to stand next to someone with BO because they are so fat eating junk food they sweat profusely but I will put up with it.

Churchill drank 2-3 bottles of Port a day, chain smoked large cigars and lived a full and active live into his 80's.
You could eat lots of salad, stop at 3 units of alcohol in any 1 session, never smoke, get on a treadmill at the gym, never get worked up and stressed and live to 90 but what sort of life is that ?.

It would be ironic popping out for a nice healthy jog and getting run over.

Well of course the landlords SHOULD have been able to decide for themselves but this draconian law allows for no bloody leeway. What is wrong with having a sign on the door saying that this is either a smoking or a non smoking pub ? Then you have the choice of going in or not going in. And on railway stations - why the bloody hell can you not smoke if it's in the open air - OK keep the bit under the roof smoke free if you must but there's no point in having a ban in the open air now is it. I went to the 20/20 last week at the Oval - perfectly sensible rule there - you can smoke but not in the seats - as long as you go to the walkway around the ground then that is OK. Why can this sensible rule not be applied at football grounds ?
But where's the incentive for a landlord to have a smoke-free pub? If, like most pubs, most of the clientele are smokers then they will go to other pubs that allow them to smoke indoors. Moreso in the winter I would say. This would appear to be backed up by pub chains claiming now that they have seen reductions in trade due to the smoking ban. No pub wants to lose customers.

Didn't the guy who "invented" modern day jogging drop dead at about 50 something?
I'm not convinced that anything in moderation is that bad for you incl nice food, fags or alcohol
The idea of spending hundreds of pounds to go down the gym as often as possible seems a most unattractive past time to me but thousands do it and good luck to them. If they think bulging muscles and flat stomachs are what it's all about who am I to argue, escpecially if they think they are doing so much good to their body, I'm not convinced.
I no longer smoke but the fuss made by so many non smokers is almost religious in it's fanaticsm and frankly very boring and pious bollocks imo.
