Smoking

[mcfcstu]

NHS :Breathing in someone else’s cigarette smoke (passive smoking or secondhand smoking) can increase your risk of cancer and other health problems. It is also particularly harmful for children.

And if that isn't reason enough, they f*ckin stink as well.

Not sure I've seen anyone smoking in the toilets, a lot on the spirals do.

YouTube embedding is pretty messed up on this site, but here:

They let them smoke on the spirals during the summer and when I asked a steward why he said "well it's a different venue when it's a concert" and I told him it wasn't but he couldn't give me any other reason.

Is it because City have hired the ground out to another company and it's their rules? Doesn't sound right though.

I don't believe that to be true mate. Surely they are all bound by the same legislation on smoking in an enclosed public place. City still own the stadium and as they did for Springsteen last summer they can still over rule the promoters or artists management on things. The steward could not give me a good reason for why they were being allowed to smoke for a concert. I wasn't having a go about it I was just asking why they did for a gig and not for football. Personally I believe they see the crowd being a bit more civilised and manageable for a gig and that's why they allowed it.

People on level one don't have spirals so they go in the bogs. Personally, I can tolerate the smoking. It's just the queue for a piss I don't like.

Mind you, it's nowhere near as bad as Wembley where the queue for a piss is a national disgrace.

Heard a city steward (supervisor) tell a showsec steward (seemed to be someone higher up) that there were loads of people smoking in the 117 toilets, he just laughed and said there it's not worth bothering trying to do anything, there are only ?? (possibly 60, but couldn't hear it properly) of us working and there are more of them than us.

Must admit I was shocked by the amount of smoking at wembley, I've mostly sat level 2 or 3, it's never been a problem.

Its worse at away games, at Stoke and Wigan. My main gripe is that they stay in the smaller bogs making it difficult for us 50+ year olds to get to the loo.

I would happily ban all tobacco products before midnight tonight but the liberals would blow a gasket.
