we have already had one of our friends come over with one of those fake plastic cigarettes-thy r loaded with nicotine capsules tht you inhale-perhaps not a bad idea
or all the smokers could just refuse to listen to it,
and go ahead and do it anyway
and go ahead and do it anyway
didnt that happen in France ?
dont know, but people can fight for there rights, or just roll over and take it.
Heres a bit of news about how the ban is working in France - so they are having a bit of bother by the sounds of things
The company i work for supply the no smoking signs, and a lot of places have put smoking shelters outside their premises along with canopies and huge umbrellas at pubs with heaters for when it gets cold

It'll work, because it has in Scotland, it just takes some getting used to like anything else.
Sales in pubs havent went down in Scotland so i can't see us being any different.

It makes no difference to me as I don't smoke and most places around here have been smoke free for a while anyway in preparation for the ban. There's been a smoking ban in and around my workplace for years. Some people will make a fuss for a while but that's just tough - there are more non smokers than smokers and too many people in favour of it. I don't know anyone who's opposed to it, and that includes a few smokers.
I own a bar in the town centre, we only open Thurs, Fri and Sat evening but I can't wait until this weekend as it will be the 1st time I will work in a smoke free atmosphere and go home not smelling of cigs, I always have a croakey voice for 3-4 days after work although that could be because I talk too much. My husband is a chain smoker and I am a none smoker so I have had great pleasure in putting up the No Smoking signs in his office as even if your premises are closed to the public in the day you are still are banned from lighting one up! (the council are doing spot checks as they can fine you £2,000 for disobeying the law).
We are lucky enough to have a Courtyard one of only 5 out of the 10 bars and pubs that do. We've also just built an Alfresco Bar to accomodate everyone in the hope that we won't see much of a drop in business, although we are currently experiencing abnormal rain quantities (another topic altogether) so it dosn't look so appealing to use yet!
Infact I'm going to look on your business site link Rosiemae as we need a canopy!

They had the smoking Ban in Australia while I was still living there, they must've started back in 2000, or 2001 even. Then we got to Germany, and they still dont have the smoking ban here (will start in September in Hessen I heard) and in Italy they have had it for a few years now too, (my parents hate it because they love lighting a cigarette after dinner) But it doesnt bother me one bit as im not a smoker and I will only smoke a cigarette if i'm terribly drunk.
on the weekend i had such a sore throat because i went into tiny pubs and bars that was full of smoke, i had to go out a few times to catch air, and my eyes were sore and red too!

Smoking isn't a right. Things like voting are rights...smoking is a priviledge, and one that has heart disease, lung cancer and asthma (especially in young children) on the rise. I'm sorry, but subjecting innocent bystanders to smoke laden with about 4,000 chemicals, many of which have been confirmed to be carcinogenic is not something I'd refer to as a "right". Do it at home.
Bars and restaurants here that have gone smoke free are reporting that business is on the rise, not the other way around.
