Croatia welcomes back fags

big b

The full ban didn't even last 6 months - people power has forced a government u-turn & the anti-smoking laws have been relaxed.

Whether it was loss of trade, or more noticeable Guinness farts is unclear.

Would the smoking ban:
make you more likely to go there
less likely
make no difference

Pffft.. Fools.

The smoking area is by far the best place to meet girls when you're out drinking.

I read the thread title and thought they banned being Gay for a while and had to relax the laws when Elton John came over to buy a baby.

That's what I was thinking also.

Homosexuals are allowed in Croatia but they still have to wear blue hats when outside their homes.

Your da has also welcomed back fags :pac:.

It would make me less likely to go to bar when I'm there. Its like stepping back into the 1950's when I go into a pub abroad that has smoke.

Hilarious switch-and-bait with the thread title OP.

Did not see that one coming.

Less likely.

I hate the whole smoking thing in bars abroad. Places I've noticed it in the last year were Berlin, Budapest and Belgium. Hmm... places beginning with B's.

Would seriously make me think twice on choosing a destination for a weekend break or such.

this winter in ireland should be interesting, pubs are finding it hard enough with the recession. maybe this nanny state law will be repealed/relaxed here too.

my local has a superb smoking area, with 12 heaters belting off the wall when its cold outside.
From time to time you see a couple of knob ends (obviously from the green party) coming out with their clip boards and measuring tapes trying to find some reason to have it closed down. A few days later you'll see an inspector in investigating their 'findings'

fcuking pricks, someone should cut their balls off.

I've said it a hundred times "Seperate smoking room, with no waitress service" and everybody's happy.

What's this some sort of room where no staff are allowed by law to enter? Not even security? Actually I'm in favour too Cheap hotel for that two vodka and coke fluezy it sounds like :cool:

There's a hotel in donegal, wont name it, with the best smoking area every. They just took a bit of the roof off in the old "bar" in the middle of the building, so there's proper seats, tv and radiators, etc. They did have to board up the bar counter so you have to walk into the lounge to get served, but feck it, it works great. The owner says its technically a "courtyard" so the officers cant do anything:D

The smoking ban only came into force in 2004 for us.

Bravo. If the private owner of a private business wants to let his customers, who enter of their own free will, smoke inside, that isn't the government's business.

As for the staff, they should offered hazard pay. Alternatively, they can find work elsewhere.

This is the reason for the smoking ban. Skinny attractive people outside, fat fukks inside. Simple as .

I thought this was going to be about the 13 Lost Tribes of Sodom and Gommorah.

Croatia is close enough to Greece for a Father Ted reference.
