Have just heard France is to follow Ireland's lead and ban smoking in public places...

.....but bars, nightclubs and restaurants will be exempt, is there anywhere else left lol?

What a load of old crap. if you have proper extraction then there would not be all this fuss (yes i am a smoker) but also considerate to people who arnt. While all these do gooders are happy with the ban. The need to think of how much tax is paid on a pack and when we all give up as requested where are they going to make up the lost revenue on the tax???? B

Ah well at least France is allowing smoking in bars, nightclubs and restaurants will be exempt. Thats better than here in Scotland.

They make me so bloody mad. They go on about all this violance thin the home. Alcholisam, child abuse and anything else that can be connected to smoking and all they are doing is driving right to the very heart these peoples homes B

We are waiting to see whats going to happen with Pubs and Clubs when the bad weather comes and people won't be able to smoke outside as they are doing at the moment.. Betty

BD are you in Scotland or what??

but you are treated like a lepper for doing something that is your choice to do as a adult. And yet we still bow down to all this human right shit because some one feels they have been unfarly treated in a prison. Do the crime do the time i say. B

Where do you live BC, I still love watching Corrie when they are all smoking in the Bar, so when do they have to stop in England then?? Betty

Its been Emotional but i have to go and do some work Take good care and all of you sleep well. B

Ok bye for now, don't work too hard now.

after enjoyng the benefits this year of the smoking ban in Scotland I was very disappointed on Saturday when we went to a childrens play centre of my grandson 5th birthday party. Not allowed to smoke in the play area but only in the cafe area. The whole place is meant for kids and when me and my son sat down for a coffee the smoke from the next table was blowing directly into our faces. Needless to say we soon got up and went else where with our drinks. Surely if its a place for kids there health should come first. Not anti smoking as I used to smoke myself but there is a time and place for it and its ot in a kids play centre.
