I can see it now a convoy of 190's cruising through the Wiclow and Dublin mountains and converging on Johnny Fox's pub. The car park will be full of 190's and tents lol

Have been saying to Dave for a few years now that we should do this, so yes - i'm still up for it. My preferences are: - Go in the New Year - Stay in a nice warm hotel - I am committed to take a day off work, because i am just too cool like that! = unless i have a weekend of milling around with celebrities and going to a bunch of afterparties with them. It does happen often and i rarely pass on the opportunity! Edited by -V-, Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:40 pm.

There's nothing worse than sitting in a smoke filled pub ith your eyes streaming and stinging you!!! Its not a lot of effort to walk outside or stand in the heated smokng room that mst pubs now have. Pretty stupid reason not to come back mate You must really love your cigarettes

Member Posts: 205 Group: Members Member #2,430 Joined: March 18, 2008	yes, i like to smoke and it is my provocative to do so. A total ban just just not right. Why not allow a smoking room? Is a law for one part of people only democratic? What about ventilation? Or do you just like to stand in the cold outside and freeze? Last time i was in ireland and had a guinnes the wind was blowing a gale in my face. I was on the next plane back. And you, the irish started it here in europe. How many pubs it has killed? It kills a lot in emgland. In germany it was ruled unconstititional. We smokers are people too and not just the rubbish which has to stay outside. Pubs for non-smokers only? I am afraid... What do the ban next? beer? because it makes you drunk????

If you were in a room with a new baby i bet you wouldnt smoke So why smoke in a room or pub with non smoking people and make them breathe your smoke???? So if you want to smoke go outside and if its cold wear a jacket!!! And your not alowed smoke on the plane you jumped onto in a hurry does this mean you'll never fly again????

What do the ban next? beer? because it makes you drunk???? Drinking beer does not give the person next to you lung cancer. Most pubs in Ireland have a smoking "room" of some kind or another, in alot of places they are really nice heated and comfortable semi enclosed beer garden set ups, that even I as a non-smoker am happy to sit out in the fresh air. The general consensus in this country is that its a great thing, even most smokers would agree. WE did not start anything. Last time I checked, I dont think Ireland has any say in the goverments of UK or any other nation in the EU. Either way this has nothing to with the UK to IRL GTG trip, so if you have nothing to contribute on that front please end this smoking debate now. Thanks.
