flogen · 24-03-2004 12:55AM

quick question, maybe Im missing something...
on the petition you have an option box where you can state yourself as being one of the following : A smoker, a non-smoker, an ex-smoker, or none of the above.... what other catagory can you fit into besides the first three???

got an email from those clowns today asking me to sign it, told them where to go

eirebhoy · 24-03-2004 12:57AM

I am soooooo looking forward to Monday night. I can see the pubs being packed just to see how it goes.:D

garthv · 24-03-2004 01:01AM

i dunno,its gonna be crazy,people will be all like "oh yeh lets not smoke in pubs" but once theyve had a few pints on em itll be all like "ahh **** this,im not goin out in the pissin rain to smoke" and spark up inside which will cause a lot of hassle for us barmen because the pub gets the blame for it afaik:/

JippoKelly · 24-03-2004 01:08AM

Yeah. The onus is unfortuantely on the pub as opposed to the individual.

It will be a lot of hassle for bar staff and bouncers in the short-term but hopefully over time it will improve.

Still, I wouldn't like to have to kick out a muppet who has downed load of pints and then lights up. Won't be easy or pleasant.

flogen · 24-03-2004 01:29AM

Id love to walk into a pub next monday and it be smoke free, but i know this aint gonna happen.
For the time being any reduction in smoke in pubs will be good as far as im concerned, and hopefully after afew months it will be totally gone...

/me dreams of the day when someone smoking gets stares and people whisper things about them like 'i think hes a Nazi' and so on....

SheroN · 24-03-2004 09:25AM

Faust · 24-03-2004 09:30AM

Smokers are jokers!

"How it works - As a bonus for signing the petition and clicking on submit you can see a short film of me out on the pull!"

In return for waiving my right not to breathe her smoke I get to see a video of a smoky wench on the rip?

Not bloody likely!

Two words my friend.. "Pepper Spray"

Roll on the 29th even though the cynic in me says it's never going to happen. But anyway, roll on the 29th and reporting loads of pubs!

kiffer · 24-03-2004 10:18AM

from link
.. Smoking and drinking go hand in hand and I believe ... blah blah blah

Well drinking a pissing go hand in hand ... drink and your going to have to pee.

so how about I carry a water pistol and when your'e lighting up in the pub with your pint I make your'e eyes sting and your hair and clothes stink and see how you like it ...
seeing as pee doesn't cause cancer and is sterile, you cant really complain about that right?
here I am Stinking of your smoke, eyes stinging and slowly damaging my health because you like to suck burning leaves and tar in to youre lungs a blow it all over me, you can'nt object to my actions as it's no where near as bad for you as your smoking is for me right?

well either that or I go to a joke shop and buy a can of FartGas and bring that to the pub ...
which is even less ojectionable as it just stinks and is'nt even wet!

I know

but I've been told by people that they'll beat the crap out of me if I do it to them... this was after they told me about the plan to get a large number of smoker to light up at the same time so that the bar couldn't do any thing about it...

roll on the Smoking War!

Battle of the Stinks!

alienhead · 24-03-2004 10:39AM

what a complete selfish childish ****$r. people like this deserve to die of lung cancer.

Lemming · 24-03-2004 10:40AM

from the site:

I plan on getting a petition of at least 50,000 names and presenting it in person to Micheal Martin

That leaves another 3,450,000 people who HAVEN'T signed the petition so could either be indifferent or disagree with the petitioners

dudara · 24-03-2004 10:46AM

what i filled in on the petition

Obviously this person's mother smoked during the pregnancy, as this is the only thing that can explain this woman's incredible stupidity. I do not condone this petition in any fashion. Well done Mr. Martin. You make me proud to be Irish

The_Goose · 24-03-2004 11:01AM

The short crap film

Dr Pepper · 24-03-2004 11:09AM

Firstly, I don't want you to die

But I don't agree with the petition. There is no logical argument I can think of against the smoking ban.. The only argument I can see in your webpage is 'freedom to choose'... What about my freedom to choose to practice my shooting in a schoolyard? It would be an ideal environment.. small moving targets, etc. Laws exist to protect the public..

i take it you never actually looked at the flash movie then..

heh thats my feeling on the smoking ban and all the anti-smoking propoganda too...

Horsefumbler · 24-03-2004 11:25AM

Now you can enjoy your smokes in the comfort of outside

hf:D

Big Chief · 24-03-2004 11:26AM

and i signed the petition and passed it onto all the smokers in our work, who most of them also signed it aswell

we currently smoke in our under ground car park and will be getting thrown out to smoke on sheriff street, more smoke comes from the old bangers/cars down there to kill half the ozone layer yet we are being punished for having a few cigarettes during the day which is nonsense really..

no one even works in the bloody car park, all of this is starting to get beyond a joke really

rymus · 24-03-2004 11:41AM

thems the breaks

yes it is ... its not funny to leave work smelling like an ash tray.
do you like the smell?

you have a right to smoke
I have a right to fresh air.

my right wins.

it's like rockpapersissors
if you find some thing that says you have the right to poison me you can win, ok?

case closed.

Nope, I din't sign the petition. I only saw the movie after the link was posted here. I was assuming when she said "you can see a short film of me out on the pull" she meant what she said.

My bad.

Big Chief · 24-03-2004 12:01PM

its not as if anyone smokes at there desk though is it? and blows it in your face...

most offices they either smoke outside or in a designated place, either way if you stand in the designated place (example - like our car park, where not a soul works and the only people that can be found down there are smokers..

Thats not my main complaint though, my main complaint was summed up on another thread

Its not just about the fact that smoking will (finally) be banned in pubs. Its the fact we never had a right to choose. Nobody asked us if we wanted a smoking ban and when it comes in, nobody will ask us if we want people kicked out of pubs for smoking.

Its not fair, its not democratic.

which is that and that alone..

flogen · 24-03-2004 12:10PM

I think that all barmen should be given tasers to sort out arsehole smokers who wont stop.

as has been pointed out, big chief, us non smokers have never had a choice, if you wanna go to the pub then we HAD to put up with second hand smoke. Now, thankfully, you have to make the choice, you want a pint, then youll have to contain your urges/go outside. Its about time the law took the side of the people trying to maintain their health. as kipper said, its a simple rock, paper, sissors situation

and that site has to be a joke, look at the clip, 'yeh, were great, just look how ignorant we are as regards the law.... cos Martin is wreckin me buzzzzzzzzzzz, shwaaaaa'
