Smoking in Pubs after hours

Jumboman

I was in a pub (which I wont name unless I'm given permission to) in camden street in dublin last night when it got closing time the barmaid shut the main door into the pub and starting handing out ashtrays then half the pub started smoking.

This was a shock to me I have not been in a pub were people were smoking since the smoking ban was bought in. It made me remember what the horrible smell of tobacco was like which I was forced to inhale.

I woundn't mind so much if this pub had a special room for smokers but this was in the main bar and it was impossible for non smokers to avoid breathing in the smoke.

What I'd like to know does this happen in a lot of pubs were they let people smoke after hours ? or maybe I just went unlucky to have gone to a very dodgy establishment ?

I was in the same situation as the OP once.

I was forced to watch porn. I had the Angelus on the telly then all of a sudden the people beside me popped in a porn DVD (Dr Fist was the name of it I believe) and pressed play.

I was morto at being violated like that and was trying to leave except I had to show them how to work the remote control and I was in charge of cooking the pizzas as my oven is tricky enough to operate.

Porn and smoking are two different things.
Our local has started playing loud music at the week-ends
and we don't like it.

Eh, you did have a choice. You could have chosen to leave the pint on the counter and leave the place if the smoke was bothering you that much. You weren't "forced" into anything so stop feeling sorry for yourself and just be glad you got a lock-in.

He's hardly going to leave a fresh pint, just cos they want to kill themselves with that sh!te doesn't mean he should have to, stop being so literal when you say forced, obviously they didn't shove it down his throat you moron

Nicely worded

Realistally every pub offering a lock in let people smoke.
You just got to accept that.
Although I quite like the novelty of it.
Nothing like enjoying a smoke in a pub after hours.
So nice.

Its not just smokers tough. Nonsmoker's understand that when a lock in happens people smoke in the pub and if they don't like the smoking they have to p#ss off home!

OP - you have a few choices here.

First - you can grow up and learn that this sort of thing happens when you are in a pub illegally after hours.

Two - You could leave.

Y - You could tell everyone here your name and what pub you were in. You'll be guaranteed to never be subjected to that horror again. Or be ever served in a pub in Dublin again.

Four - Take up smoking.

Even non smokers will know what to expect at a lock in.

An hour in the company of a few smokers is hardly going to kill him now, is it?

Quit with the hyperbole.

Why did you feel the need to say this?!

Little CuChulainn

The smoking ban is for the benefit of employees, not other customers. So those people saying the law stoppped once they closed the shutters are completely wrong. It doesn't matter if it's only the boss and his mates left over, if someone is being paid to serve them then the law is being broke. sure, the op could leave his paid for pint and get out but why should he have to? And what about the bar staff who are stuck there?

The attitudes here are typical of the hypocritical bull**** you see throughout the country. Everyone wants to get rid of corruption and see the law obeyed, except when it's enforced on them.
