Am i a smoker? er no and i was all for the ban

But everytime i step in a pub now all i can smell is stale beer, B.O. and sweaty farts.

anyone else notice this?

its awful

SiPie

You'll get used to it.....and eventually the boozers catch on and spend more on air fresheners and carpet cleaning etc...

At least, that's what they did up here

Freak

I don't notice that in NY where it has been in effect for a long time.

People now need learn to wash, stop farting, use anti perspirant, and landlords need to clean the years of stale sh*t out of the carpets and crap off the walls.
May be too much for some of the more simple folk to cope with.

PeteBrant

That's because americans drink ****.

If there is one thing guaranteed to get the old trouser trumpet working, its a pint or two of wife beater or guiness.

D.K.1

Maybe the pubs should invest in kandoo style loo roll that gives a nice clean making the sweaty farts a little less sweaty

Freak

true

Pabst blue ribboon and bud although guiness is very popular

Indeed.

I travel to Dublin quite often, and you can definately smell guiness exhaust gases in the bars.
Even by my standards some are absolutely rotten.

Wandering through Birmingham the other day I have never seen so many groups of people outside shops pubs etc having a cigarette.

Didn't think people really bothered with pubs any more now.Even those that go in for their heavenly smoke free Sunday lunch will be peeved when the government introduces its 'though shalt not have to many fatty yorkshire puds ' ban

Twits...sort out thick unruly,gobby children and scummy criminals then I will clap all your other policies.Which reminds me.....are the foxes all ok now? Phew

bonerp

our walkabout stinks now. And instead of getting cancer inside,you get it walking the streets now instead!

D.K.1

I would rather stay at home than breathe in anyone's rank smoke or mucky flatulent gasses

J_sca001

We'll prob be told that fart gasses cause cancer next and we'll have to go to the sh1tter to let rip!!!

Two best smells in the world..... Your own farts and somebody elses bag of chips!

KiwiGTI

Agreed, been in several countries now that have no-smoking clubs and they don't smell.

Old habits die hard and I think there are still quite a few soapdodgers still amongst the Brits.

I'll second that. i went into town last weekend and when i awoke in the morning my clothes from the evening weren't sticking the whole house out.

i didn't really notice any BO or farts either.

although i was rather drunk so perhaps i didn't remember smelling it

Odds on

Its a good thing IMO.

I smoke, but since the ban has come in I only have few a day. I've never smoked at home, nor in my cars btw.

Now when I go in the pub I don't join in with the 'flashing the ciggy's every 2 mins' thing as I'm fooked if I'm standing in the rain lol. I also don't have a cheeky few on the roof at work when no ones looking. (I'd be thrown off the job rather than bollocked if caught)

I've gone from 15/20 a day to just a few.

miss*scoobygav555*

Its going to make a hell of a lot of people cut down which is a great thing!!

I used to hate going out and waking up smelling it on my clothes, in my hair, on my skin it was horrid, I might as well have been smoking myself!! I say rock on with the smoking ban!! best decision made!! I sort of feel sorry for you smokers but think how much better you'll feel for smoking less!!

LOL

just come home stinking of Alcohol now


Pubs are great now no horrible haze of smoke!!

mykp

i've been to my local three times since the ban and each time its been empty cos everyone is stood outside!

Even in the rain.

either that or all my mates are round at one of my mates houses, sat playing eggbox, smoking and drinking!!!

StudentScooby

I have noticed the truckers have stick 2 fingers up to the smoking ban! They are still chuffing away with rather large no smoking signs in there windows...

speedymonkey

very true

ChefDude

trouble is, in the nice weather, there's no chance of sitting outside without being choked with smoke

In central london, the streets are busier for people standing on them smoking.
And this exacerbates the problem of women who hold their own **** away from their bodies at right angles so that the innocent passers by get ashed/burnt.

as a non smoker: let them back in the pubs I say

Dream Weaver

We went to our local at the weekend, first time in 4 months since our little lad was born.

Not only was it a 5th as busy as it used to be, but the once decent pub stunk of toilets and ****

It's a very old listed building and usually very nice but it now just stinks - so much so, we had to go outside.

You lot need to ditch these old pubs and visit a nice local wine bar or two. The local one by me called the Blue Oyster is very hospitable. They'll bend over backwards to welcome you in!

Chip Sencurry

I for one am pleased that the smoking ban was introduced. I can now wear the same attire as I wore the previous night - result. Even go a few weeks in succession without needing a wash. Just a quick spray of Brut or Old Spice and I'm sorted

windyboy

With all of the smoking clientelle now standing outside you get a preview of the what totty will be inside so you can decide weither or not to go into a pub / club.

Pink Bunny

Our pub and club smell nice and clean Wooden floor in the pub and concrete one in the club so nothing soaks in and smells, and we invested in a new air freshener system for the toilets so no horrible smells there either!
