Should smoking be brought back into pubs?We don't want you to go home smelling like an ashtray. But there are air purifiers on the market that scrub the air every 2 seconds for a few hundred pounds that make the indoors cleaner than the outdoor air.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?flowerpot. Beer gardens only work in the summer and when it shines the non smokers want that place as well and complain about smokers. I don't go to a pub to stand under something I wouldn't lean my bike against. We need facilities where we can sit down socially interact in comfort and feel part of the human race again. We pay £12 billion a year in taxes, that's more than the UK spend on defense. Surly we should be given some respect.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?The voting question is not correctly phrased. Should pubs provide facilities of equal standard for smokers and non smokers? As a smoker I do not want my smoke to inconvenience anyone. But I do not think a shed outside in mid winter or a wooded bench under a 40 watt light is going to interest me in ever going back into a pub. I’ve not been in one since 2007. I’m not a second class citizen. The old Victorian separation of smoking room and lounge was just fine but it should be up to the landlord as to what clientele they wish cater for. Pubs are not public spaces they are private outlets and as such the owner should have the right to choose who they can and cannot serve, not the government. Pubs that cannot serve food are disappearing at an alarming rate. There should be places we as smokers can go and there should be places we cannot. It’s called freedom of choice.
