i forget which pub it is but theres one round here where 1 room has been declared private residence , smokers can go in it and have a smoke but they cant take their drink in with them

Sounds good!
I'd definately book in there!
All we need now is for some rich buisnessman to set it up!

The provision of beds and the booking of them, as an entry fee/bed deposit, will provide 'residency status'.
The patrons, after an evening of drinking and smoking, could 'change their mind' about staying and go home.

There is a club locally where you are allowed to smoke in a seperate room. Not going to name it just in case but sure if they get caught they will get clobbered with a hefty fine

[accyman]

thats probably teh one im thinking of and they cant do a damn thing as its his private residence , as long as they dont take their drinks into that room they are basicly guests in his home and become customers again when they go back to the bar room

havnt visited it myself but my friends have

Our government too would bow to public pressure, if they ever got any! Sadly, we just lay back and take it, and that is half the reason we find ourselves in the state the country is in, and why we are dictated to all the time, the owners of free houses in particular should have the choice whether or not they allow smoking, and the patrons should be allowed to choose whether or not they frequent those premises, the government keep bailing out big business, immigration, wars etc, and will continue to do so untill they are forced to operate in a different way, the voting (or non voting) public have the power of change, but choose not to use it.

It is not nasty it is just factual nicotine is a drug, regular smoker are addicts.

The real question should be : Is there any need for such a nasty habbit?

Well i think druggies is a pretty harsh description of smokers!
Yes it's a drug but we all know what the term druggies implies and i for one don't like being labelled in the same bracket as them!

If you think about it druggies get better treated by the authorities than smokers...free syringes, methadone, and more funded charities than you could shake a spliff at !!!
