Was you at the pub this afternoon?

Question

so how did the no smoking ban go? was there more people in there, less or was it about normal.

Answer 1

I worked in a pub and yesterday (July 1st) was my last shift.

On June 30th the pub was crammed with smokers all having their last chance for a f*g inside.   Yesterday we were just as busy, although we are lucky enough that the landlord set up a large shelter at the back of the pub with a seating area, so a lot of smokers were out there most of the night as the rain didn't affect them.   I did notice a lot of new people in the pub itself, as on Sundays it is usually only our regulars who come in, so it may very well be that non-smokers were venturing out more but there wasn't a drop in the number of smokers either.

Answer 2

WE HAVE HAD A SMOKING BAN FOR WEEKS NOT

Answer 3

No not me, as I don't smoke and I've been in a meeting for the past few hours

Answer 4

I went to several pubs, and found adults who indulge in a legal activity standing outside in the rain. I also called the police to two pubs, who were serving alcohol to people that I know are under 18.

The law is the law, after all.

Answer 5

a cant go in a pub am underage lol

Answer 6

I went out, there were more people stood out in the rain than inside.

There should be smoking and non smoking bars, not this absolute ban, its pathetic

Answer 7

I do not normally frequent pubs, because they are so full of smoke. Mind you I do not like alcohol either, but on occasion i do enjoy good pub grub, it may be worth venturing on occasion. Let you know next time i visit

Answer 9

No, I didn't go to the pub... coz I'm too young!

However, I must have seen about... 3 people still smoking in public places. So, the ban's not taken great effect, really...

Answer 10

About the same..all outside thankfully puffing away...my clothes still smell fresh.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I went for a few jars and sunday lunch, the missus pointed out how quiet it seemed!  Could be the weather...???

Answer 13

No we are going down for the quiz tonight. I had a patch on at work today. By the end of the 6 hour shift I was getting a little jittery, but otherwise okay. I can imagine that the smoking 'room' will be full of smokers and non smokers who have got lonely in the pub. lol.
