Im afraid there aint gonna be any smoking rooms at all. Ive heard that Turnmills is thinking of using a hand stamp system so if you want a fag you can get your hand stamped and go out and come in again...bet you have to que or somink to get back in :S

if not im im spitting my dummy out :p and raving in my front room ;)

I love a ciggy when I'm clubbing, but a cig is not more important than meeting up with mates for a boogy to top tunes. If a cig had that much sway over me. .. . it would be time to quit smoking if you get my drift!!!

I would rather rave with my pals than sit at home with the radio and a cig.

You don't mean it Northern Star . . . .trust me!;)

I think it will be hard at first, but we will all get used to it just as they have in all the other countries, I mean if the Italians can stick to it we can! I actually look forward to it despite my love of a cig. I will wake up feeling a lot better the next day and not stinking like shite!:thumbsup:

smoking ban works well up here in scotland and there has been no problems at all clubbing or pubbing it, experienced it in new york and eire prior to that as well

most clubs have a place you can go outside to smoke

the non-smokers do not have to be polluted by the poison shite from other folks ciggies and you wake up in the morning with clothes that do not stink the house out

the law is not so much to stop people smoking but to protect people in the workplace, it is an HSE issue

one of the best things the scottish assembly has done so far

lets face it smoking is for mugs (i have been stopped 7 years and smoked for about 20 previous to that)

Ah Buckfast. . . .I remember drinking that on a plane to Barcelona, when the Scot's were playing Spain. This Jock was not supposed to have it on the plane, but when the stewardess approached to tell him off, he just looked and she walked off!!

Madstuff, mad fans! An Experience though!
