i have to say that i enjoy not going out and coming home reeking of ciggarettes but i agree with GL on this

pretty soon there are going to be no personal liberties – this will eventually cause a migration of people out of the UK to other less restricted areas where the individuals can manage it – somewhere with less rules and restrictions :hopeless:

I don’t even smoke but I hate the idea that things get forbidden. I don’t believe in anyone’s right to tell others what to do as long as it doesn’t harm others (harm to yourself should be a personal choice), and no one is forced to go to pubs / clubs where there is tobacco smoke. By being banned, tobacco will acquire the ‘forbidden fruit’ flavour and be even more attractive to teenagers – hardly the result that is hoped for.

friends of mine used to squat a lot of smaller pubs in SE England that had closed down (we would convert them into small party venues and arts/workshop places).

most had closed down around 2001/02 – but already invested in these extractor/air ioniser things to remove cigarette smoke from the roof space and remove it via a vent.

I have managed to get quite a few of these devices working and they were effective at removing the smoke (I was surprised they were left behind TBH!)

All these venues seemed to already have smoking/no smoking areas anyway. One even had a sign saying “NO SMOKING ON THE DANCEFLOOR” – to which I later added “AND NO DANCING IN THE ASHTRAYS”.

effective extraction seems more sensible to me and no smoking areas is good too

and it would remove the effectiveness of bl**dy smoke machines too:weee:

I actually don’t mind the smoking ban up here at all and i smoke.. Its actually a good way to be able to go outside and cool down when u’ve been dancing like hell for hours…

But as mentioned before u can smell everyones farts all shape sizes and colours imaginable.. its dire.. last month at eruptor i reckon one guy must’ve had a curry before he came out he was reeking…

apparently France introduces a smoking ban on 2007-01-01

surely that would be tantamount to their Govt selling the Eiffel Tower to the Chinese for scrap metal?

I wonder if there will be more riots?

france already implemented a smoking ban about 6 years ago

nowhere took it on board and the law was never inforced, beyond about 30% of cafes having a no-smoking area sign up in one part of their premesis which is ignored by all

FFS the french cops refuse to even take a statement about serious crime such as attempted rape (even if they have they have witnessed it), so enforcing a smoking ban seems unlikely in the extreme
