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.

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

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

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...

Not the pubs I am visiting...

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"

Smokers still have a choice, nobody banned tobacco yet, but why allow companies who profit from deaths to hook up more and more people??? Smoking is a preventable bad habit.

After smoking ban in UK pubs and streets much nicer, only people in Treasury are weeping at the loss of money from taxes and longer lives of people who stopped smoking.

A lot of French people will be mightily peed off with the EU if this petty and vindictive measure is brought into effect, and rightly so!

but not Disque Bleu?

Yes it certainly does, but as others have subsequently pointed out, smokers have a choice.

Smoking kills more than terrorists

Yes it certainly does, but as others have subsequently pointed out, smokers have a choice. Victims of terrorism don't. Are we there yet?

[original PM]

For terrorists or smokers?

Anyone whose life choices do not involve killing other people.

Don't start on secondary smoking.

I think the words freedom of choice are needed somewhere in here!
