Re.SMOKING BAN: I'm a non-smoker, but am going to miss passive smoking when at the pub. Anyone feel the same?

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Answer 2

I've been a non-smoker for a while now :) and people say that when you stop, you enjoy passive smoking...

But not for me - I don't crave it anymore and I don't even miss the smell - I actually feel sick when I smell it now.... It's great to feel that even your own body rejects the smell of something that is only there to destroy you.

I think this ban is great news - campaigners go on about freedom for smokers, but now we have freedom for non-smokers for the first time in donkeys years - it something worth appreciating!!!

I went to a non-smoking pub in Putney, London the other night and had the most wonderful time - came back smoke free... it was soooo lovely. Remember, it's the company, not the smoke, that makes a good time.

Bring on the smoking ban!!!

Answer 3

I will miss the atmosphere of the mixed smokers and non smokers that make each person individual as it is there choice to make I am a non smoker and never have tried it it just never took my fancy to try but I have alot of friends some of which choose to smoke I have always noticed that the ex-smokers complain where as not so many of us non smokers(ppl that never had) don't tend to so much I think mainly that the ex-smokers complain mostly due to them still having the craving and most when drinking a nice pint want to have a cigarette but can't because they have told everyone that they quit and hate the smell but secretly want one?? so to sum up yes I will miss it alot of my friends say that they would prefer to stay in and have a drink now that they are being out casted by the non smoking ban in force...

Answer 4

I do a lot of singing in pubs and clubs and it will be sheer bliss not to have to inhale other peoples filthy smoke every time I take a breath. Not to mention the stench of smoke in my hair, clothes and on my equipment when I get home. Smokers have had it their own way for too long. I don't have a problem with people killing themselves by smoking if they wish to do so, but I don't want to suffer because of their stupid and selfish habit. I like a drink myself and provided I don't drink and drive or get so drunk that my behaviour becomes a problem to other people, the only person I'm harming is myself. If smokers want to smoke they should do it in a place where the residue of their pleasure doesn't affect other people. After all I don't go and p1ss on other people when I've had a drink and I don't really see a difference.

Answer 5

No. If you like passive smoking so much, just find a friendly smoker and a small enclosed private space. There is no law against poisonous smoke transmission between consenting adults.

Answer 6

I did when I first gave up, but I found that going to the pub with a smoky atmosphere just made it more difficult, so now I don't go to the pub either. You know what? At £2.50 a pint, I'm saving quite a bit there too! How anyone can afford to get pissed these days I don't know. It costs more than 40 cigs a day.

Answer 7

In that case, you're probably not really a 'non-smoker'. Missing something is the other side of wanting something, and if you want nicotine - then you want nicotine! I suspect that as you're not actually smoking cigarettes it won't take you too long to overcome this when you don't have it any longer. Just don't be tempted to light up to get the fix!

Answer 8

Passive smoking can actually be more dangerous than smoking a few cigarettes a day as can be seen from the above question! You require a deaddiction as much as a heavy smoker does!

Answer 9

I will really miss the smell on my clothes next morning. Lets you know you have had a good night out. Plus its a good way of having all the benefits of having a smoke without having to pay for them.
p.s. For all the literal people who answered like idiots - that was irony - like the question

Answer 10

Answer 11

Watch the council tax increase...every corner of every street, outside every shop, office and pub will be mounds of *** butts (for the americans out there......this is not offensive.....means cigarrette ends), local councils will have to employ extra cleaners, resulting in boosted council tax bills.
