The smoking thing I still find rediculous. 90% of people who go to pubs smoke. If you don't like being around it, then don't go there or open up non smoking pubs as well.
In Indiana, you can bring your underage child into a 'bar' as long as he/she is not sitting at the bar and/or consuming alcohol.
I'd go to the bar all the time with my dad, we'd sit in the game rooms or at a table all the time.
I think all this stupid crap should be left up to the owners. If an owner thinks swearing is driving away business, he can ban it. If another owner thinks he can bring in more business by allowing it, he can allow it. Smoking should be the same. Leave it up to the owners. Privately owned businesses should be privately run.
They should not ban anything from bars. Bars are places of vice!
Even the whole smoking ban is loony. I would like for a scientist to prove at least one cancer case to me from somebody who got it via second hand smoke in a bar!
When the smoking ban came into effect here, ever hardened smokers admitted that the pub was nicer without the smoke.
I don't think it is. Yeah, it dosen't smell of smoke anymore. Great! Now you can smell all the sweat, stale beer which has been spilt and the smelly bogs instead!:willy_nilly:
You just have to prove me wrong don't you?Roy Castle. Played in clubs most of his career, never smoked. Died of smoking related lung cancer from second-hand smoke. Roy Castle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Got to admit, smoking outside dosen't make me the social outcast I thought it would. Seeing most of the pub smoke and have to go outside, it's the non smokers left inside sitting on their own who look like the social rejects!![]()
Titanic beers are great, they always have a couple on at least at my local beer festival.
Smoking outside is a great conversation starter, usually goes something like this -
Walk out side and light up, glance at other smokers there, roll eyes and say "bloody smoking ban!"
...and off the conversation goes!![]()
