[Closed] smoking outside pubs

Nothing more annoying than getting comfy at an outdoor table, getting your hot food served and suddenly fat mr nobody sits down with either his useless wife or his fat mate and starts puffing away on their cancer sticks.

How people that dumb can be allowed to mix in with society is beyond me!

Is it not just a very subtle form of natural selection?

Could try using a fire extinguisher on them and follow up with "I'm sorry, I thought you were on fire"

i dont mind them getting soaked and cold during winter but its awful when its nice and you want a pint outdoors , smelly barstewards ;-(

i think you art tarring (no pun inteded) all smokers with the same shitty stick! I am a smoker and always ask people if they mind when i am outside at a resteraunt. if they say no thats fine. it is like everything, a little bit of manners is all it takes. if you dont like some one smoking if you are eating, tell them in a polite manner and i can pretty much gaurentee they will put it out.

I'm with glasgowdan on this. I don't mind skinny people smoking, but I can't stand fat bashtards and their fat mates smoking ......... khantz

Lol @ E_L, so smokers can't smoke inside, so they go outside, except that pisses people off as well...

Ho hum, maybe we smokers ought to let the rest of you tax payers pick up the bill for the NHS...

Can't see you getting away with that.

glasgowdan, I take it you realise that the good people of Glasgow have their position in the life expectancy table to protect?
If there are many more like you, the Iraqis will start dying before them

I find the fact that they have to smoke outside a pub quite usefull, when in a strange town/area it is easy to see what kind of clientelle a pub has before you mistakenly venture into it.

Also it's generally the scummier element that smokes as well, so what you see is usually the worst the pub has to offer.

I much prefer the smell of cigarette smoke to the sound of whining.

I'm not sure whether passive whining causes cancer, but in terms of the ambience it's much worse. 🙂

How did all the whiney diddums cope before the smoking ban? I'm guessing they are not the social type, so avoided pubs anyway.

+1 for BD's comments above.

do you know what? non-smokers die every day....

i just prefer how it was before, you had a bit of a smoke smell all over but never really bothered about it, now as soon as you step outside it stinks . the govt should have just left it how it was ;-(

plus i think its disgusting that smokers cant smoke in pubs/clubs anyway even as a non smoker

mick, the other option was to allow pubs to [i]choose[/i] if they wanted to go no smoking. I knew of several pubs which did, before the ban, good for them.

The smell of BO is much worse than the smell of smoke ever was in many bars

oh your not wrong fish

Spaceman = Tw*t. Get back to reading your Daily Mail.

Love seeing smokers defend themselves. Why should ANYONE else put up with the smell? It's primitive to use the "well they choose to be in the same place as us smokers, they can leave if they want" line. This could equally apply to noisy unsociable neighbours, cyclists on a road (where car drivers can drive dangerously and say simply that the cyclist chooses to use that road) etc.

No non-smoker should ever have to put up with it... heavy and damaging elements that are not easily cleared from the lungs. It's disgraceful. Do it to yourselves but do not in the least do it to anyone else.

For the record - I don't & never have smoked

I used to be lovely and skinny when I smoked, fat smokers have no excuse.

Glasgowdan, as a biker I quite often sit outside pubs, cafes etc covered in shit (sometimes literally) and stinking of sweat. I bet you'd be one of those interfering nomarks who'd give me the evil eye if I sat next to you..... Ever tried just getting on with life?

Seriously, some on the muppets on here just get worse every week. I don't smoke, but if I'm outside and people are smoking where they've been told they now have to smoke I really couldn't care less. It's just becoming 'what can I have a whine about next' on here.

what difference does a bit of smoke make to a deep fried mars bar 🙄

Glasgowdan, you sound like a right laugh.

Would this please some?

I agree with BD. And tbh cOcKiTdOg, smoking helps smokers to relax and chill. If they weren't allowed to smoke, they would get really uptight and wound up, and would probably end up stabbing those responsible for making all that irritating righteous whining noise.

Be thankful they are allowed to smoke.

To be honest without smokers there wouldn't be many pubs left anyway.

Who really gives a toss.?

top man coogan, havent seen a bit of strutter in toooo long!

Y'know after i posted i realised my stroke of comedy genius may be tainted by the filthy internet.

Ho-hum.

what makes me chuckle on here is all the intolerant people on here who happily bitch and moan about all the fat/thin/unfit/foreign/not foreign/smokers/ramblers/horse riders/roadies (cross out or combine as you see fit) or just plain different to you.

The really funny bit is how many of would not be quite so brave and bold when you're not sat behind a computer screen or would you have the balls to tell the guy sitting at the next table to "Put your fag out you fat ****".

I think not somehow

Ah the GIFT

Can you imagine the sight of a posh twenty somethings with certain ideas about life telling a [b]horney handed son of toil[/b] what to do?

We could arrange a STW whinger meet somewhere in NE London and I could take some pics and maybe have a feature in "the mag", resulting in an unpleasantly patterned buff for my parent's dog.
