Im sorry masseur but i don't agree with you their mate,its been proven that banning things just makes the problem worse,i for one wont stop smoking just because their is a ban in certain places,sure i won;t be smoking their but i doubt that will put me off...of course this is good for people who don't light up,but what about my rights?..don't they matter?..Im not saying that we should be allowed to smoke in public just maybe smoking zones that are well ventilated as not affect anyone esle!...for me this will basically mean i will have to stay indoors for much longer and smoke more before i go out or will be smoking outside the venues i'll be attending.

Not sure what I make of this, I am a smoker, smoke about 6-8 a day usually so not a heavy one, but do enjoy a smoke after a meal out, or at the pub. Guess I'll just have to get cold! I can see there been a lot of smokers huddling outside of pubs and clubs after this year!

i wouldnt worry to much about it , give it 6 months and most pubs will be letting you smoke in them just to make money.
in ireland they lost 1/3 of revenue in the first 6 months. it turned round when landlords started turning a blind eye to smoking in the pub.
a few friends were in dublin just before xmas and every pub they went in people were smoking.
its going to be very hard to enforce most publicians in this country are already living on well below min wage

Absolutly terrible. a huge human rights infringement.
whats next? banning drinking in pubs? the cause of many deaths, the cause of a lot of antisocial behavior?
madness. i feel i've lost another freedom.
and the members clubs/pubs/night clubs will also suffer next year.
this is the time for pubs to open up there roof tops or gardens with patio heaters/umbrellas. they will still do alright i guess.

after this ban is in place, any person/s found smoking in a public place, bar, restaurant, pub etc. the staff/owner 'must' kick them out and if they reffuse, call the police. if caught by police they will most probably be fined. if the public place, bar, pub, restaurant etc does not get them out, they will be in trouble themselves, and face heavy fines.
@batesie - thats just igronant.
@axxxr - because in the long term its more serious and dangerous than alcohol, in the short term its more uncomfortable for others than alcohol. alcohol will not hurt others around you as long as you control how much you have, which is yours and the sellers responsability.

Anyone ever got a fine?
I smoke anywhere I think is not really offensive to the public, even if its a non smoking area... all they say is please put out your ciggy, i finish it and walk away... no fines... since our ban in 2000 only one guys recieved a fine...
