Should smoking be brought back into pubs?It is interesting that the majority of the comments support a ban yet there is very little from the 44% who want this disgusting, antisocial habit to be given the green light. Perhaps it is because there are no real grounds to allow smoking and there is little evidence and factual comment supporting their views. Thankfully the 'NO's' have it.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?It is not hysteria it is genuine concern. It is not common sense to establish an environment that others have to enter and keep clean. What about the bar staff (who need a job) you clearly don't care about their health. Hopefully you also agree that the prices charged in smoking areas should be higher due to the increased maintenance costs.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?Barbara, You clearly don't let facts get in the way of your views. I got on a 'smoke free' bus yesterday and a guy was stubbing out his cigarette on the pavement (for someone else to have to pick up) and sat next to me. The smell was disgusting and had I not been getting off at the next but one stop I would have moved.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?Oh really Lee, so drink driving did not have an impact ? The cost of soft drinks on many occasions cost more than alcohol. We are living in a changing world and unless you address constant change you will fail.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?Perhaps it wasn't Hyde Park that caused your asthma attack. Perhaps your life in a smoke filled environment was the major cause ! So anyone who disagrees with you is a lunatic ? Could people therefore wonder if it was your pub that was the asylum ?ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?Of course drugs should equally be banned but this way of defending one disgusting habit (smell your breath, your clothes, the decorations etc.) with the ills of another is ridiculous. Each subject should be viewed and addressed on its own implications. Oh really they don't steal then why did so many places have to secure them as too many were being stolen. No harm when driving. So you think that a cigarette dropped by a driver is not a risk ??ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?Definitely not. Not only is there a risk of passive smoking the smell that lingers on your clothes is disgusting. I know 2 pubs and one hotel where the owners have confirmed that the costs associated with cleaning, decorating and damage done by cigarettes has diminished significantly. Just look around the environment and see how many cigarette buts litter our streets, parks etc. The tax on cigarettes should be increased significantly to cover the costs that are incurred by others. In my opinion it is a disgusting anti social habit.ViewDate:

Would you welcome your GP surgery being opened 7 days a week?We know who to blame for this the self serving politicians who gave the Doctors new .contracts without having the brains to see the impact this would have on A&E departments in hospitals.ViewDate:

Should parents be fined for taking term-time holidays?So long as you don't blame the teachers or school when your children don't make the grade and fail to get the better paid jobs that those who have forfited a foreign holiday for a few years.ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned on British beaches?Chewing gum yes but only because too often it is spat out onto the pavement and if you have ever had the displeasure of trying to clean it off your shoes you would equally want a ban.ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned on British beaches?It is not just the stupidity of smoking and the self inflicted damage they cause that ties up resources in hospitals it is the litter they leave behind. Whilst I appreciate only a certain element of smokers disgustingly throw their packets around nearly all, when away from an ashtray" leave their cigarette butts on "the floor" for someone else to clean up. Hospitals should be the first to ban smoking anywhere within their grounds.
