dirtybeemer wrote: but the majority of people who complain about the smoke are ex smokers because when they enter they smell the smoke and get a cravin for it because their body has been introduce to it and thats why you cant wait for the ban to happen, where as a total non smoker's body has never had nicotine introduced directly into the system.

I don't get a craving from cigarette smoke when I enter a pub. It makes me feel a bit ill to be honest. I used to get a craving when I first quit but it faided after a while. What I missed most was the habit of smoking. I used to associate relaxing with sitting down and having a fag. When I first quit I used to find it hard to relax.

If can do all that being a smoker then imagine how fit you would be if you didn't smoke.

If smoking doesn't affect fitness then why don't any profesional athletes do it?

It will catch up with you in the end.

dirtybeemer wrote: Slave to cigarettes dont get that one, better off you mean buy not having to buy them, i can afford them or i wouldnt buy them

Ok so you only choose to buy them because you want too?

So if you lost your job you'd quit just like that?

If the answer to that is yes, then why not quit anyway?

dirtybeemer wrote: At last i bloody knew it you ex smokers are always the worst, ive been at my local club for the past two days and ive been asking non smokers if someone smoking bothers them, every one who has never ever touched a fag said it didnt bother them then the ones that moaned about smoking was the ones who used to smoke and that is a FACT

So by your logic then a huge proportion of people in this country are ex smokers.

Since a lot of people support the ban, certainly to some extent, then they must all be ex smokers by your reasoning.

One of my mates has never smoked but has asthma. He can't wait for the ban because he loves a pint but becuase of the smoke he frequently can't enjoy a one in a pub.

The fact that I am an ex smoker means that I know that it is possible to quit, that you feel a lot better once you do, you are a lot better off and that you realise that you were a slave to them when you did smoke.

Madness! replace with a bunch of smokers gaging for a cigy with booze inside of them ====== trouble i would think starving some yob of his fix a bit like throwing a flame in to petrol thats madness

Because of course when they banned it in Ireland the it became a really violent place............oh hang on, no it didn't.

Maybe the ban will help a few more people quit. After all, it costs a fortune, it's bad for your health and the health of everyone around you and you only do it because your addicted.

I used to smoke 20 a day and I would have loved it if pubs had been smoke free, it would have made quitting a lot easier.

make this man the next prime minister

i have no time for all you non smokers out there saying smoking is bad because it realy is your own choice to go to a pub thats filled with smoke or not

freedom for non smokers and freedom for smokers;that is the whole point you can CHOOSE were when and if you do or dont or go to places that accept the fact you as an independent person can do

its wrong that somebody can make such a stupid bill up in parliment and get away with it

and to all you goody goody two shoes who dont smoke there is plenty of non smoking bars and clubs out there allready so you did have the CHOICE

oh and yes i used to smoke but dont now

The non smoking girlies have won, and us smokers are stuck with it.

I just hope the next ban hits some of the non smokers on here, what next ?

cars with more than 3 cylinders ?, drinking ? driving limited to a thousand miles a year ? cameras recording your every movement?, ( oops sorry, they're already doing that one)

Lets hope horsey doesn't smoke, otherwise the " I know betters" have got him twice.

Bloody hell!!
