How did the stupid bitch get my e-mail address is what I want to know?

Not only is she an ignorant smoker but she's a spammer too.

The ban applies to all enclosed workplaces, including niteclubs. You're probably not going to be able to get back, so you either wait a couple of hours before lighting up or sacrifice the rest of the night just for a nicotine fix.

I don't think there'll be any problem with the effectiveness of the ban. Just look back over some of the previous posts. Some non-smokers are just itching to report people. Publicans aren't likely to just sit back and let smokers spending a couple of quid to cost them thousands of euro in fines.

oh, and another thing.

The film from the petition site IS funny!

I think the calls for enclosed smokers areas are fultile. Any room full of smokers will get really dirty really quickly, and it's gonna be someone's job to clean it up, so it becomes a workplace. Plus, from a health & safety point of view, staff in public buildings ought to be trained in emergency procedures, so they must have access to every occupied part of a premisis, so everywhere like that qualifies as a workplace too.

The problem is smokers can't control their smoke. I don't think anyone is denying anyone else's right to smoke, this law is protecting those who choose not to smoke and, for far too long, have not had the right not to smoke at work, in pubs, restaurants, etc. If you want to smoke, buy an enclosed helmet or something, ensure that every fume from your cigarrette is inhaled by you, not those who happen to be near you. I mean, I've a right to fart where and when I like, but you don't want me sitting down beside you while you're trying to eat and I fart constantly? That'd just be rude and unpleasant for all. So I take my smelly gas outside

good post, also on a safety point, pubs/clubs can now have smoke alams fitted, usefull in the event of fire.

I love it. "What about the gay smokers who might get beaten up outside".... That my friend is clutching at straws.

As someone who now only succumbs to smoking when in the pub, I'm looking forward to the ban.

It's just a shame that Mr Martin doesn't have the courage of his convictions and ban smoking altogether... wouldn't have anything to do with tax revenue now would it?
