how about people move with the times and quit smoking? who wants that awful smell whilst they are eating? and if people cant last a couple of hours without a cig they really need to seek medical help

I know someone who leaves the matches at Leigh early because she cant last so long without a cig

thats pretty sad, thats someone who really needs help.

Eating and smoking is just gross. But if they are going out of our way to smoke (outside) then I don't see a problem.



To smokers, a pint and a cig go together, if you give them a decent facility then they won't be bothering non-smokers and there's a better chance the pub will stay open which is to everyones benefit.

Somebody's been listening to Eamon and Jimmy on a Sunday morning [ they use that joke every third weekend

yes but some might say a curry and a good fart go together, im pretty sure i dont want that where im eating either

The nanny state strikes again. Wayne starts campaigning for farting areas

the smokers may be happy but what about the non smoking members of staff or smoking members for that matter? It is their working environment, smoking is not allowed in the work place. The smoking ban was not primarily about those who smoke it was introduced to protect the workforce.

Sod the smokers let them freeze

Neither of you have read my post properly.



If the smokers are outside, as I said, what's the problem?

my apologies, re read it (missed the bit in the brackets - OUTSIDE)



"if you give them a decent facility then they won't be bothering non-smokers"

i'm assuming the decent facility would be outside?

Yes, outside.
