Actually, the ban here is on smoking in enclosed workplaces. This just happens to include pubs, restaurants and most other places indoors. People will still be able to go outside for a smoke. I think it's still allowed in prisons, hotels and nursing homes as well. But most people have been complaing about banning it in the pubs.
The government are making a big show of enforcing the ban. They've employed inspectors to check pubs and are giving out €3,000 fines to any place where the law is repeatedly broken. I don't know if it's going to hold up but I hope it does. Most of my mates who smoke are in favour of the ban, at least they were until we were sitting in the bar today. It took five minutes before they cracked and went outside for a smoke. ![]()

If there's ever a smoking ban in bars where I live, I'll get my pitchfork.

I very much support a ban on public smoking. God bless them. I don't want to go to a bar or restaurant and have to breathe in smoker's garbadge.

Timber the ban in pubs causes problems for the first 6 months to a year then people just get used it and accept it, even most of the hardened smokers. And to those bars that hold out for a while soon come into line when an employee starts to take them to court [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] The power of lawyers eh! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

A ban on smoking inside I can see(except in bars), but A ban on smoking outside?

[img]graemlins/smokybounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/shooter04.gif[/img] Freedom to a safe work place and freedom to breathe are IMO the higher cards to play and will win any game. Now private bars with membership (club) may be a different matter but I'm talking public bars and restaurants here.
