Wishbone G Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeh i just saw it on Ceefax. I briefly read through the bill itself. Ill admit, i dont have a clue about these things, but it strikes me that its not an actual ban, and simply spells out some rules for when a place is to become non-smoking.Like i said though, im no expert. Any law student people want to sum it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Fat Porn Star Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I think, if I remember, you can have a smoking and a non-smoking bar in your establishment, but the smoking has to be well air conditioned. I'm not 100% sure on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 i'm a smoker, but i still don't like smoking when there's not another smoker in the group.. i don't feel its right that i should be contributing to someone elses bad health..i do love my smoking at the mo, but hopefully it'll provoke me into actually giving up.

Guest neil ex Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeah, but cancer or not, some people still find it unpleasant..I'm looking forward to the ban, definitely (yet dreading it at the same time)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone G Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I find dog shit left in the street unpleasant. Why dont they do something about that instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
