Smoking in restaurants...

[Nobbles]

Seems like decades ago i used to light a smoke up after a curry in my usual UK Indian joint...and in my local pub after eating, seems almost alien today and hard to imagine it happening now...all for the better of course, i recall all the big HooHar when it was banned in pubs etc

it's a load of bollox mate , when I look for a hotel etc - I always make sure it's got a balcony and somewhere to have a ciggie , my wife dont smoke , so I sit outside - for f*cksakes give us somewhere to go - - a pint and a ciggie goes cap in hand

I mean do some really still opening smoke at places in Udon..not talking about outdoors but inside behind closed doors..?

well at least here you can light up outside and drink in the Uk a tad parky I expect.

Arrrrr yes but most places are geared up with halogen heaters for comfort.

I hate the smell of cigarettes and it really turns me off my food, so I'm all in favor of banning it in restaurants.

I didnt agree with the ban in pubs and bars mind you as for many people that was the main reason for going in the first place to relax with a fag and some booze.

In the UK and other ilke countries why not allow the pubs choose whether you can smoke or not instead of a blanket ban?
A big sign outside says "This is a non smoking/smoking pub" then it is your choice to enter or not.
I would prefer to be in a child free or a non-feminist or non-TV or non-slot machine or non-loud music or non-mobile phone or preferably all of the previous bar/restaurant.
Even better would be all of the previous plus a lounge bar for the women and the public bar for the farting, swearing bullshitters but I am just a miserable old git who remembers the good old days. (:)

Didn't the women used to use 'The Snug' part of pubs..? and the gents in the saloon or lougne part
