> Smoking ban in Ireland
Bookmark topic
An all out ban is perhaps a little draconin, perhaps a reversal of how things are at the moment in the UK - for there to be a smoking area somewhere out the way in the corner, another room, or even another floor, and the majority of a pub being non-smoking.
It would also help me as well, as I gave up smoking about 3 months ago and not seeing everyone else in a pub smoking will make me less tempted to light up again!

I quite enjoy smoking actually, cigars that is, very relaxing and very nice at the end of the day, especially after a large meal. There are few pleasures left that are decidedly male in nature, smoking cigars is one those things that men do; the women are sent to the drawing room and the men can light up some cigars, drink scotch and brandy, slap their knees, laugh like musketeers and sign songs featuring 'whoops' and 'trousers' in the title.

Armagnac is better with a milder cigar since it is a lighter drink than most cognacs. Most people are hard pressed to tell the difference.
One of the nicest drinks to have with a good cigar is a scotch, preferably single malt. My own preference is for the Islay malts, especially Laphroig, however, it requires a very strong cigar to hold its own on the palette when faced with an Islay, and I would recommend a Bolivar on such an occasion, although a Partagas could also maintain its flavour reasonably well.
Single malt whiskey, also known as battery acid?

When was the last time you seen a badly off publican? The Fibber Magee incident was a stunt for publicity. Coincidentally, a friend of mine used to work in this stronghold of rebellion had poor things to say about the management - an anything for a euro gang! The publicans are clear in what they want
: their fat profits before our health. Long live the ban.

I think they need to ban smoking in pubs and clubs cos its really annoyin for a non smoker to have a good time. But since 90 % of my friends smoke, i can't do anythin about it. Its hard to go inside a pub or a club and not have my eyes start burning. Its hard to have a good time. Maybe if there's some way the smoke can be prevented from causing pain to others, its good. Open spaces are better really. They have a ban on smoking in public areas here. Maybe they need to extend it.

Ps. I live beside a publican(sound fella) who would favour the ban being implimented in northern ireland. He's found out the hardway that second hand smoke does the same damage as lighting up yourself.

Each to their own, but it does take a refined palette to appreciate a fine malt.
@all
You would think that with all our technology it would be possible to develop cigarettes that don't have any adverse effects on health, surely it can't be that hard to do.

The whole point of tobacco is that its addictive, therefore the people who make them have healthy profits.
Is any addiction good for your health ? nope.
