Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs From: gnu Date: 26 Nov 09 - 03:58 PM Always... I have asked guests in my house if they mind if I smoke. I never did in a pub when it was legal as non-smokers did not have to attend a pub. In any case, the sooner smoking at all is illegal, the better. |

Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 09 - 12:22 AM PS, Gnu. I feel much the same as people here who dislike smoke odors. There are some soap, hair spray and 'cologne' smells that make me gag. Axe is one of them. |

I guess the same way the law creating prohibition on the sale of alcoholic beverages were enforced in the 1920's, which ultimately brought about the legalization, a few years later, of selling alcoholic beverages.

Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 14 Mar 12 - 08:33 AM I hadn't given any thought to how water pipes would stand in regards to the smoking rules possibly because there are very few authentic Eastern restaurants in Bristol to see for myself. The only time I have seen sishas smoked was when I was on holiday in Turkey. But complying with the UK smoking ban in restaurants, pubs and public places the law would have to be the same or similar in guidelines where it can be smoked only in a designated area. |
Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs From: Ole Juul Date: 15 Mar 12 - 05:45 AM I must agree that cigarette smoke is dirty in the house. Nevertheless as a kid in Denmark I did enjoy the thick tobacco smoke at Christmas and gatherings. Men rarely smoked cigarettes and the aesthetic was quite different. Anyway, the only thing that I have to add to this thread is that smoke in general is quite old fashioned and, might I say, natural. I have to fire with wood for over half the year and when I fill the stove, often make a point of letting a little smoke into the house because it smells nice, homey, and old-fashioned. Perhaps if I was a tobacco smoker I'd feel differently. |
