Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Smoking ban in pubs and clubs?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Smoking ban in pubs and clubs?),it will help you,my kids.
how will it affect your local? will it close down due to lack of trade?
Answer:
I don't think it makes that much of a difference, (saying that though, I don't know the figures) other than the fact that the smokers now all congregate outside the door to smoke. But there's nothing wrong with that-hopefully it'll put more and more people off smoking, and that's great! However I do think that a separate smoking room (with extractor fans) like in some of the Scandinavian countries could be something to think about-to stop ppl having to freeze their buts off! This would also mean that sales wouldn't necessarily have to go down. Having visited friends in Scotland last year, I experienced-for the first time ever-a night out without stinking of smoke on my return! It was wonderful-loved it! After a night of partying-how great to return home smelling fresh as a daisy! Health is more important than sales anyday. Plus think of all the money spent each year on lung cancer, emphysema, asthma, etc etc treatments due to or exacerbated by smoking! I know what I think is more important. Health every time. xxx
?? I'm barred from my local, so i hope his pub burns down haha

Why can't they have smoking only pubs and clubs?
no one can foresee the future it would only be guesswork
I can't wait. I'm head chef at a pub/ restaurant and I'm expecting a huge boost in food trade - it puts so many people off coming into a smokey bar.
people live longer
its crap live in Glasgow and we've had it for a while
I don't go the pub, so don't really care. However, our local pub has been closed since the flash floods we had recently, due to the amount of damage. I suppose to them a smoking ban would be less devastating.
no, it will probably do better. there are a couple of non-smoking bars where i live and they're thriving. it may be the boost that the pub and bar industry needs. me, my wife and friends avoid certain places because we know they get very smoky.
most of us don't smoke and would prefer non-smoking pubs, just for the comfort factor but the health benefits are quite persuasive too.
no smokin in bars is a good thing just think a bout the people that have to work there who cares if they close down who can afford $ 4.25 for a beer and as much as $ 10 for a fancy drink. they could lock the door and move to mexico i dont think many folks would miss them
My local has already changed to a smoke free enviroment they closed had a refit and the place was buzzing people won't stop going to pubs becuase you can't smoke it's a socializing event i don't see it being the end of the world.
I live in Toronto, where a smoking ban is already in effect. You can't smoke in restaurants, bars, malls, in fact the bylaw reads "any enclosed public space". This even includes covered patios.
When the law went into effect, alot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc... had trouble. Now it isn't so bad. It's gotten tothe point where most people just go outside to smoke.
No. This is not what happened in Scotland. The stupid cigarette smokers just stand outside, in the pouring rain.
Trade actually INCREASES because normal helathy people can buy drink without having to negotiate the crowd of chain smoking "regulars" who used to congregate round the bar.
i live in scotland and weve had it almost a year, itys terrible the pubs are half empty,worst law ever brought out by our cowardly goverment, using us as a test for the rest of the country
im in scotland and the ban is already in place, in the clubs it seems alot cleaner, which is nice but if u a smoker down side is they usually shut the doors a hour or so before closing times
I live in NY state and it's been in effect for two years now and it's put a big hurting on the bars,the ones that let you smoke when everybody inside can be trusted are drawing alot of customers
I can tell you how.
I had a restaurant in Dublin-Ireland of course being the first European country to introduce the ban-for three years.
Overnight, turnover dropped 50% and in the first 9 months of the ban 7,000 workers lost their jobs in the hospitality sector-excluding those employed in the 'black economy'.
200 Pubs have closed and those that remain are empty most days of the week.
There has been no discernible decrease in smoking amongst the Irish population.
There was no consultation between government and the drinks industry , no referendum and no offer of any compromise.
Neither was there any form of compensation given to those who lost their livelihoods.
For those who remain in the industry they are,in the main looking for ways to get out.
The new eating out culture is eating in.
not really, people will still go there to get drunk and just step outside to have a square if needed. i don't think it should be forced on owners though, it should be up to them. smoking cigs is still legal and tobacco is what made this country. if they want to have it should be their choice to do so. i would say it would affect the waffle house if they banned smoking from that, part of the enjoyment in going there late at night is smoking cigs and drinking coffee and not having to give a shite.
in my area still not a forced ban, some restaurants/bars do not allow it some do. the ones that do not get exclusive business, but they also exclude a certain sect just because they do not allow smoking. overall i guess what i am saying smoker is still going to go out in public at some point, banned or not so it would not have a huge effect.
well its been effective here for months and as a smoker myself i tend to drink at home now. I understand that it affects peoples health and they shouldnt have to breathe in our fumes, but how are cars ansd loories and buses allowed they pollute us just as much??? I think they should have pubs for smokers where the staff dont mind/smoke and for smokers fairs fair now
i'm in scotland and we have had the ban for ages, i find that the pubs are quieter but, you get more of a laugh meeting people outside smoking than what you do inside, i find i do smoke less, which is a bonus
You could ban breathing in pubs & people would still go there even if they had to run in & out all night. Alcohol rules all.
No, i think trade will increase.
More people are put off going to pubs because of having a chair full of smoky clothes on Sunday morning than those who actually smoke.
Went to Dublin the other weekend (where smoking is banned in pubs)and we tried several pubs that were heaving with people and it was such a pleasure to realise that your clothes didnt stink of smoke. I am a member of the British Legion where 50% of the patrons smoke and the air is foul and I stink when I get home. Strange that these old boys escaped death during the wars and now they are committing suicide by smoking.
I think it's very ridiculous. I'm not a smoker, but I know that from my friends; alcohol and smoking are good friends. If smokers show respect to us sometimes when we say it's disturbing, we have to show respect to them. It's not our or their problem, this is bar owners' problem I think. Bar owners must seperate their bars, and the "smoking part" must have a very good air conditioning system, that the non-smokers never disturb from cigarette mist!
Being a pub in the middle of a council estate, we will have a drop off in trade from the workers, but I think we will have more families coming in.
We'll survive.
I have a good Friend of mine owns a pub in Toronto , when talks of a smoking ban began some time ago he took it upon himself to give it a try before the law was passed expecting to see a major lose in income to his surprise sales almost doubled , more older people came in , and as you may not know older people have all the money , needles to say he never went back to smoking rooms , its been none smoking from then on.The pub has been rated best in Toronto for eight years straight .
i live north of chicago, local counties have a law in action that bans public smoking, my county was thinking of also doing the same, but after just one month of the other counties having the ban, locals and businesses have complained so much and also a huge loss of business my county is rethinking the smoking ban.
its only bad if the room is bogged out, thats when the health issues come in, im a smoker and i just leave if its to smoky, my allergies get to me.
no they wont close but there will be people spilling out in the street so they can have a *** dont see how its gonna help really people will just do it outside.
they banned smoking in my city and it has affected alot of peoples ability to be comfortable (weve gotta go outside in the cold) but no peoplel still want to go out and drink and rub up against each other so our club scene is still as strong as ever
Now Yahoo! has even banned the word '***'. That's pretty culturally insensitive to us Brits.
my local - everybody SMOKES !!! i think i no 2 plp that dont smoke in the pub lol and that is it so god help them when it kicks in coz the locals are in everyday all day and night till bedtime then up and in again lol they even get fed twice a day haha xxxxx
