    heya, did anyone else hear about the smoking fines, ya no the janitor guy, think his name is trevor, wears glasses n is kinda tall. was out havin a smoke at the front doors of the college out by the reception. he was telling me that the college are thinking of bringing in fines for smoking in the non smoking areas. like he said as long as ur jus down the steps ur grand but right up against the doors ur gonna be fined, think thats a load of bull**** anyways. any comments

    What happens if you're down the spets but the wind blows the smoke into the non-smoking area? Can the fine be applied and will there be a smoke detector to prove it like a kind of speed camera type thing?

    Ah what do I care I don't even go there any more.



    Oh yeah, and I don't smoke!

    Yeah. The law seemingly says that in business's, the smoking area has to be a few meters away from the building, to stop smoke from going back into an open window. So the college may bring in something like that.

    ya, the janitor fella was sayin that you must be as far away from the door so that the automatic doors close. its all crap if u ask me anyways. they should jus give us a smoking room during winter, be better coz i kinda hate going out in the cold when i kinda need a smoke.

    Why not go to the sheltered aread and wear and extra layer of clothes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    ya i suppose, im getting the hint that ppl here dont like smokers, getting alot of negitive feedbacks.

    i dont smoke and i dont mind people smoking. but is it that big a deal to stand down the steps? apart from "the law" its common courtesy not to stand in the way. which is a regular occourance there.

    also while were on standing in the way, why must french students insist on stopping to talk on the stairs in the lrc? arggggghhhhh!!!!

    I think this is a great idea, im sick of having to walk through a cloud of smoke anytime you have to enter the college at LRC and AIB side. I never enter through the main entrance. stevenk said people were getting fined today by buzz. About time I think. There's a sheltered area built especially for smokers but nobody seems to bother using it. The college does have lots of signs along the walkway tbh that say 'no smoking'. I think it gives a bad impression too, anyone visiting the college just see's a pile a fag butts everywhere at the entrance doors. I never understand why they can't use bins :( I actually feel sorry for Buzz sometimes when I seem him sweeping of the fags, it's a daily chore he has to do which he shouldn't really. Use the sheltered area and get over it. Would you rather the college banned smoking all together and made everybody go out to the gate to smoke?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    ya it is a good idea, ive started to smoke off the steps now and go into the square thing jus outside the lrc. i dont mind doing it. ya i met buzz yesterday and was telling him that he should complain to the boss and get the smoking bins. someone was telling me that they had them outside the main college entrance and they took them away, how come they took them away.

    Hey, wouldn't it be an even better idea to stop smoking altogether?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket

    hot girls can stand where they want! but it does get annoying when theres hundreds of people walking down the stairs after class and they decide to stand in the way.

    and as for those irish students, dont even start me on those irish students, drinking all the time.....

    nope, but ive heard of rumours though of buzz taking ppl away and making them smoke until theey diieedd!!!!haha....nah, didnt hear anything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭Don1


    A fight in a smoke filled area would be weird. What would happen first:
    • One person beats the crap out of the other
    • Both ppl collapse due to smoke exessive inhallation
    • Both ppl give fightin cos the nicotine makes them all passive and stuff!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭tom_ass19


    they could always just burn each other eyes out.haha. fun fun.....
