Smoke Free Pubs

Despite my body not speaking to me for having it large only three days after getting back from a stag weekend, I have found the smoke free pub situation quite nice. In two of the pubs I didn't really notice it wasn't there, but the third looked like the walls were going to fall in as if the smoke had kept them standing up for years.

Anyone else got an opinion of it all yet?

    Pub gardens are much busier- after all it's not like the weather is drawing us there

    have noticed the lack of people lighting up on station platforms etc though.

    Is smoking banned on station platforms then as well? Even if they aren't enclosed?

    I'm a non smoker but bizzarely i actually miss the smell of smoke in pubs... I hated stinking of smoke the following morning, but pubs arn't the same now, they feel sanitised like having a pint in a hospital.

    Do you know what Curb it, I think JT is brilliant. Probably one of the few people i'd be interested in seeing in concert, much rather see him than any of the 'big' bands.

    Ah! Maybe that's why so many people have got the hump on here this week - Charlton Life ex-smokers therapy chat room...

    Dartford and Charing Cross is - they're the only ones ive noticed (and used). Even the open bits the station staff are hot on it (probably because their so busy and non smokers are crammed in with smokers).

    All south eastern stations are smoke free.

    Even the open-air platforms? Seems stoopid to me, I could understand if they were enclosed...

    Especially the platforms. I'm all in favour of it, keeps the stations cleaner.

    I think the smoking ban is great. The only thing I would change is to allow Working Mens clubs to smoke.

    Don't think they let you out of the arena once you're past the ticket barriers for a fag, you can smoke in the square outside the O2 though

    Should do what they do in Spain.

    Either somewhere is a smoking establishment or a non-smoking establishment.

    Restaurants should be non-smoking, so should public transport. Not pubs, clubs or poxy train platforms!!

    so rothko. im meeting in a bar - which i assume is the near the square so while in the bar i can hop in and out for a smoke but once i go through into the arena its a firm lock in till the end of the concert?

    also what time do the bars shut? someone said the slug and lettuce is now open so im aiming to head there as not been yet so dont know whats what.

    T... there are tickets still available...

    I had to wait at North Greenwich for about 40mins last night for the old bill to turn up, tons of totty going to see JT last night, maybe you should drop down there WestSide ;-)

    As for smoking, I think tomorrow night is going to be an absolute nightmare, the wine bar I drink in has no back garden and the tiniest of pavements outside, really not looking forward to it.

    why were you waiting for the police?

    Some jobsworth asshole LU worker left a 'to be towed' notice on my car, so I wasted 40mins of my evening waiting for confirmation that I had parked totally legally and there was no threat of my car being towed away.

    B, you can go in and out no problem from the bars and restaurants, its when you go through the ticket barriers for the concert that you are stuck then.
  • Options
    so i should forget about support acts and stay out as long as poss. what time did your start and finish last week?

    As AFKA said, you can get out of the Entertainment Avenue at anytime, and pop out and smoke outside the Dome, once through the arena doors, you need the old will power to kick in.

    Slug and Lettace opens to 11, as does the Inc Bar in there

    Pubs should be non smoking. Otherwise, where do non smokers go for a quiet drink without passive smoking someone elses cancer stick?

    Baldrick has a cunning plan - get one of those 5 litre bottles of water, empty it and then fill it with smoke. Anytime you fancy a puff just take a lug!

    Exactly. You have to be a member to go into a WMC, so you know what you're getting. Then the rest of us can enjoy the pub. Fair compromise???
