One guy's way of getting back at smoking ban.

[Liam]

i can't remember where i saw it, news or in the paper but anyway..

what he plans to do is, if he see's someone sat outside his pub with the smoker's who's drinking and not smoking he's going to say 'scuse me you cant drink that out here' if the drinker says why he's going to say 'smokers out here sorry and you dont smoke'

i know it seems very childish but you can kind of see the point he's making. people are descriminated for smoking why should'nt none smokers be descriminated also. i personally dont smoke and dont care if someone next to me is smoking, quite a touchy subject for some people though.

yeh i saw it also, think its hilarious.

[Liam]

yea its funny for being immature but you can kind of understand where he's coming from. he is right in a way lol.

Smokers Hit Back In War Over Lighting Up (from Lancashire Telegraph)

As shown in above link from today's Telegraph,there is a cafe in Darwen which is not allowing non-smokers to sit outside.Good for them I say.They (non-smokers)don't like it when they're not made welcome somewhere do they?Well,the non-smokers can't have it both ways.They've got us smokers standing outside in December in hail/rain/snow etc and outside is the only place we can go for a ciggy now.I knew they'd all start moaning sooner or later that it was unpleasant when sitting outside because of the smoke.Well GET BACK INSIDE then.We're not all going to go and live on another planet for you,you know!

[cashman]

well said lilly, the sanctimonious gits will winge about anything.

[Liam]

i dont smoke an i agree, its descrimination no matter what you do these days. they ban smoking in pubs because peopel moaned, now their moaning when you've been sent outside. talk about having your cake and eating it. greedy bastards.

LMAO Liam very very true!!!

The thing is, where I work we have had a marquee ( we had to put 50p each towards buying it) put up for the smokers. Now the thing that I find odd is that all the non smokers still come and sit with us smokers outside on breaks. Now I know why they do it, because us that smoke are the FUN people, that have a good laugh on break, and if the non smokers sat inside at break they would die of boredom because most of the non smokers are a bloody miserable bunch!! BUT we have made them pay 50p towards the marquee, because if they want to use it, they pay the same, simple as. AND we put a sign up saying " fully payed up members only " seems childish, but hey ho
