Smoking should be banned in Pubs?

DeVore · 07-10-2003 11:20pm #1

This seems to be a huge debate at the moment so I'm going to propose the topic:

"Smoking should be completely banned in pubs."

If you are interested in being on a pro- or anti- debating team please post here saying "In Favour" or "Against".

Do NOT, repeat do NOT start debating the topic, this is only for garnering who is interested in the debate and on which side.

Anything else will be cut and banned.

Thanks,

DeV.

????? Of course there isn't a debate. deV's asking for volunteers for the teams.

I'm willing to go on the "in favour" team, although it will depend on the dates this is agreed for.

What Bonkey Said. You'll notice a severe lack of "debate" on this thread... thats cos I've binned them all.

Looking for a few good smokers to stand up for their rights and be ready to argue "against" the motion.

Anyone? Bueller? Buelller?

Evil Phil · 09-10-2003 9:15am

Ex-smoker for 11 months. Against the ban.

Heresy · 09-10-2003 11:14am

In favour (smoker)

John2002 · 09-10-2003 11:18am

All for it and I'm a smoker.

Imposter · 09-10-2003 11:48am

Would it be a good idea to get a smoker, non-smoker and ex-smoker on each team? (Might be hard to get an ex-smoker to be for it though!).

pbirney · 09-10-2003 2:19pm

In favour of the ban.

Stark · 09-10-2003 2:21pm

"Do NOT, repeat do NOT start debating the topic"

valen · 10-10-2003 11:29am

I wasn't debating the topic, so much as troll baiting. And surely that's what boards in general is about ?

I'm an ex-Smoker and 100% for the ban. It's about bloody time to be honest!

You remember that bit where Dev said not to debate it in this thread? You do? Strange...

Anyway, I'm a smoker and while I don't really mind either way, I love a good argument so I'll put my name down against the proposition.

Dustaz · 10-10-2003 8:20pm

against.

Not willing to debate.

Willing to fill an audience spot with rotten fruit though.

Gummy Panda · 10-10-2003 9:28pm
