Banning smoking in beer gardens

[Johnny Mars Bar]

As a publican, I agree that we should not be smoking around children. I also think smoking around people who are eating is not great. I am hoping the smoking ban will not be enforced in beer gardens where there is no food served and where children are not allowed in the pub.
Let’s make wet led pubs adult spaces only.

I don’t think I should be charged 6 quid for a pint of fizzy mass produced piss water but there we go, life’s a crap chute innit.

“Nanny state”

“Mainstream media”

The latest catch phrase is “two tier” in the paranoid lexicon.

You don’t hear “political correctness gone mad” much anymore but I guess that’s been reduced to “woke” these days.

Can smokers be woke?

Only if you smoke rollies while reading the socialist worker

What would you prefer people called it? If not nanny state?

Health and safety gone mad mate

It’s the EU this, they want all our cigarettes to be bendy and measured in centimetres instead of good old inches

People are only just starting to get annoyed with terms like this even though they have been around absolutely ages, demeaning their description is a silencing tactic.

The term "nanny state" originated in Britain and was first used in 1965 by Conservative Member of Parliament Iain Macleod. The term is used to describe a government that is seen as overprotective, interfering, or authoritarian, and is often compared to the role of a nanny in child rearing.

Of course

What about if they are drinking alcopops?

Anyway, back on topic, we don't need any police or landlords to police our glorious leaders new smoking ban, just have fire extinguishers handy and the more law abiding of society will gladly do it for him, quick blast in the face, job sorted.

Looks like smoking areas aren't enough, the petty coughers want it all.

I don't remember drinking becoming connected to Associated breathing problems

For the record I’m just wumming on this thread.

I actually couldn’t give a toss either way about banning smoking in beer gardens.

Smoking is disgusting and I’m glad it’s banned indoors as it fucking stinks and smokers are a load of tramps but outdoors it doesn’t really bother me.

Funny how people are up in arms about it though. Just give up, save yourself a fortune and you won’t smell like Frank Gallagher’s arsehole.

Or not. Just don’t blow your fumes in my direction or else you’re getting glassed in the throat.

That isn't what I said although I don't remember smoking being associated with being glassed or attacked in a pub.

What I said quite clearly is that in a pub designated as a smoking pub you'll still get some misfit walking up to a group of smokers and start coughing, if a smoker found a corner in cherfuckinobyl you'd find someone with their hands over their mouths.

It's a smoking pub
Don't care
Can't you go to a non smoking pub
Want all the pubs


Think of the fucking children!
