Smokers fume as France mulls ban on 'too cool' Gitanes and Gauloises

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

You mean those empty pubs which are now building sites? Pubs now smell of BO and farts, so much so that even non-smokers can't stand it. Be very careful what you wish for...

Yes, remember how people would be flocking to pubs in their droves after the ban? People who had previously avoided pubs owing to their aversion to tobacco smoke.

I don't think I've met a single person in that category. Ever.

Once again, the wisdom of "experts"

^ I would have, but have an aversion to alcoholics as well.

Not the pubs I am visiting...

You are probably the sort of person who said that you would go to the pub if they banned smoking - but you never did.

Mmmm, pubs and smoking. Yep, I can still do that

Then thank goodness I'm not there!

I guess that the ones complaining are smokers. The smell of BO and farts aren't in the pubs I go to.

I can can come out not smelling like an ashtray though.
