    Roll on the 10th December Smokefree bars

    I am SO looking forward to going out without having to ingest copious carcinogenic fumes at the same time.

    Your clothes won’t stink, either will your girlfriend’s hair.

    Cafés Restaurants etc will be great. I really hate when you arrive for a meal & you are just cracking into the starter when some inconsiderate fcker decides you are going to have a smoke whether you like it or not.


    To paraphrase; It’s all good.

    I expect a barrage of abuse from the hard of thinking about freedom of choice, but these people usually ignore the freedom of those who don’t want to smoke & either have to put up or not go out.

    Or the barstaff/waiters trying to put themselves through university.

    Also the ventilation argument has been quashed as it has been shown to remove the smoke but not the carcinogens.

    Time for a KB night out in December?

    Its going to be so good. Hopefully it's self policing too, ill be quite happy to tell someone to fuck off if they try and light up.

    I could not agree more!

    We walk out of places where we can't eat in peace.

    So you're one of the winging little PC bitch nazi's telling concenting adults what they can and can't do aye?

    Personally I couldn't care less. Hardly go out so doesn't really affect me. Feel sorry that cigar bars are now no more.

    And when were you forced into going into these deathtraps??

    On the topic of the employee's, they're forced to work there are they? Can't look for work elsewhere if it's such a problem for them. Of course not, society has to be blamed so they can hang on to their minimum wage jobs.

    *Yawn*

    Lets all control each others lives coz adults can no longer make decisions for themselves.

    Why cant the majority of people go out and enjoy a social occasion with friends without having to put up with pubs/bars being effectively taken over by smokers?
    Some of us would like to go out more often, but cant stand the effect it has on our system. My sinus' fuck up the instant I smell cigarette smoke, I have to move when I smell it or its sit there and be a mouth breather.

    As for working at pubs I partially agree with you, but if its the only job you can find, its kind of unfortunate.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings...

    but are you aware the smell of cigarettes mitigates to some extent the smell of the toilets in most bars?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Something to ponder.
    Are those ignorant fucks that flick their cigarette butts onto the road/footpath the same people who piss on the floor at the pub?

    So you must be one of the hard of thinking.

    I ride road bikes & dirtbikes & I'm not PC, far from it.

    Society is based on rules & one of them is to be considerate of others.

    Yeah I despise the over regulation & control laws that are being imposed upon us, but that has little to do with not having every bar, pub & eating establishment polluted by the small minority of smokers, who to be fair only have to step outside for a puff if they feel so obliged.

    I gave up smoking 8 weeks ago today so that I'd be well and truly over it when the new laws come in. Feeling so good now, and it will be great in pubs with the temptation taken away.

    I'm glad you're so open-minded. Next time you're up in Auckland, let me know, and I'll pop over to your restaurant table and wank off into your wine glass.

    That’s very decent of you, I usually have to pay for that!

    Riff, brings up a point; how many people have you met who claimed they only had a smoke when they were out drinking, then progressed into a fully fledged habit? Good for you by the way.

    They are probably the same ones that sit outside the entrance to my work underneath and facing the no smoking signs, filling the whole entrance corridor with smoke so that asthmatic non-smokers like myself have to walk through it everytime I go to work.

    That really rips my undies.
