The Smoking Ban: One Month On.

My dad is working as an enforcement officer for south tyneside council, its a total joke! they have 2 people covering all of south tyneside, they only work office hours and have no powers at all to enforce the new law, If you do get stopped they can't check your name or address.

Basically the council have been told by the government they need to create the job of enforcement officer, but as the council wont be getting any of the fine money they don't giving out fines as it will cost the council to take you to court. he's getting money for nothing, just so the council are following government instructions

don't know why they couldn't have smokers nights and non smokers nights as long as the staff and the venue and the punters agreed.

that'd be pretty sad

At Camp David on Fri night, there were more people outside than there were inside..... everyone outside seemed to be having smoking banter, while everyone from inside looked on...... lol :laugh:

Im a non smoker so i think its fucking great.

I dont come home stinking of smoke or with tab burns on my am from dickheads dancing whilst fucked having a fag.

Can't say it's had any affect on my nights out whatsoever.

Agree with aaron totally. No more clothes getting destroyed either.

And love not stinking the next day.

I think the "spoiling the conversation" argument is scraping the barrel juuuust a bit. As said people still go for pisses, phone calls and drinks etc, and can't say i find many conversations ruined as a result.

how many times does this actually happen to you? Talk about scraping the barrel

I'll give you that one

It has happened before, most notably on a tshirt i had on for the first time that i'd just bought for £50...wasn't massively impressed

and how many times have your brand new trainers been ruined by someone standing on them on the danceloor?

LOADS


All this 'my clothes smell so much better' is a load of toss aswell. Hopefully you wash your clothes after you've been in a club sweating so it doesnt really make any difference?

Who gives a fvck what their clothes smell like after theyve been out, you obviously havent had a very good time if this is the topic of coversation on your way home in the taxi.

As I said, i think its a good idea in pubs but its ridiculous in clubs. Spending £10 to get in and having to spend half of the night trapsing to the exit every time you want a fag....GRIM.

hahahhah "ooo my clothes are RUINED cause of smokers" you fucking CHUMPS - clothes stink of sweat, booze, women (with any luck) and everything else you bump into on a night out...

i love going out in a new white pair of leather retro's - then TOTALLY regret it the next day cause some fucking idiot can't watch where they're going and either spill booze all over you or stomp all over your feet - clumsy cross-eyed fuckwits!

in a pub ain't so bad - clubbing is a right drag. so to speak. smokey atmosphere's are GOOD (even if i admit not not healthy) - i miss it

awww phil, wanna cuddle?

you in the habing of pulling smelly birds Phil?

I don't care, i'd rather loose a bit of the atmosphere though over the use of my lungs

what about my trainers ?!?!?!

THINK ABOUT MT TRAINERS

I'm trying but I just can't seem to get myself worked up about them

u haven't seen them. i have 30 pairs i think.

i fucking love trainers. love them

trainers rule. Best inventions ever := 1) Bed 2) Boobs 3)Trainers

each woman has their own 'smell' - and i don't mean their wizards sleeve smell, just their aroma.

One day my friend, you'll find out. That day you will become a man
