I do worry about the tax issues though if more peeps give up, although of course you could argue that in general the Health Service will be under less 'lifestyle' induced illness, but then you could argue lol that they are massively funded by cigarette tax
Good point there
If only 26% of the UK adult population smoke and that lowers as a result of the ban (they have upped the legal age for buying ciggies to 18 now) then the gov will put the tax on other things to cover the downfall in ciggy sales - booze will be the obvious choice I'd imagine.
None smoking drunks will be ranting loads if that happens
I love the ban
To answer the question, i was in syndicate last week n it was rammed to the rafters with a few thousand people. U go to a club to listen to music n dance, not smoke. If you want to smoke, stay @ home

Of course its anti-social. More people don't smoke than do, and its obviously bad for both the smokers and passive smokers health, then its obviously anti-social! I am not saying its shit, as my previous posts state i like being around smokers lol- but clearly its anti-social in general.
Anti-social dosn't always mean hostile or disruptive, it can also mean going against the social majorities wishes.

Lol, its a Prince song. Appologies for keeping it light-hearted, i was simply trying to have a laugh!
Chillout old man, i was saying that if we lay of the fucks etc it won't spiral into a slanging match, as it always seems to. Why be so hostile- its just another thread thats hardly a big deal.

Did i say COUNTRY, i said my COUNTY, pay attention? Scotland may not be a large country but even i do not what is going on everywhere here
The question was how did the ban affect pubs and clubs, well in my area and in my experience, not at all in a negative way!! You can say I'm talking bollocks if you want but you would not know would you?
The bingo hall in my area is still going and that report was from about a year ago.
Back up what you are saying about my locals then Mr?
Think and read before you post a reply to someone
Chillout
Otherwise you will look hostile and disruptive lol. What is the point of bring up past posts, seriously if you have a issue with how i discuss shite then perhaps it could be addressed via pm rather than letting it manifest and bringing it up later, in what appears to be a totally unrealed subect:S Why is it heated? Its hardly an emotive topic- and if you would actually read my posts rather than chucking a epi over nowt you would have noticed i agreed its shite! My argument was, and still is that to claim pubs are shuting down you have to in some way prove it, or its just classed as nonsense- nothing but a knee jerk comment in response to your own views.
We are not school kids, nor is Butty is the teacher enforcing playground rules, its up to us to be respectfull when we post and not get agrro when quite clearly its not needed.
Your links will be read, cheers for putting them up on Murfo's behalf. I dare say though that to get a clearer picture on Bingo (lol) halls and Pubs true fait we would have to wait a few years.
Another year old report, well done pal, still a bingo hall in my area
Not my area, do not want to comment
Think it's probably just in the short term that jobs are affected, or pubs will close, but i'd reckon most would have been struggling anyway:S
It's just a transition anyway as people will either just adapt to it, or maybe socialise at home with their smoking friends but then some other industy will grow if that happens.

This is what i am saying, we have to give it a few years, get stats (damn stats lol- i once wrote an essay on stats you know for an A-Level exam
) and see whats what long term.Heres a newer report about the industry in scotland post smoking ban
