There isn't going to be a total smoking ban in
England anyway. The rule that smoking is banned in
restuarants and pubs that sell food will effectively
become smoking is banned in restuarants and food is
banned in pubs.
The effect of second hand smoke is exxagerated but
banning it in an outdoor environment is OTT particularly
when you consider the car fumes the fans will inhale on
the way to the game. It sounds a bit like Blackpool
banning paddling in the sea in case someone throws a
plugged in electric fire into New York harbour.
I doubt it would ever have come about but for the fact
the stadia are all-seater and if you're stuck near
smokers, you cannot move. if smoke is blowing in your
face for 90 mins, it doesn't really matter that you're
outside, its still unpleasant (even more so if you are a
non-smoker because your sense of smell and taste are
more likely to be intact). the added benefit for clubs
is that there is less cleaning required without all the
strewn butts to remove. talking about health fascists is
a real red herring as clubs are not trying to stop you
smoking full stop,they just don't want you smoking near
their other customers who don't like it. are they wrong
to listen to the majority of their supporters? two things.
1. It is a great move, a fair move and a modern approach
to the smoking debate. No-one should have to tolerate a
cancer flowing towards them without having a choice. I
am a smoker.
2. You WILL be back inside WHL, and that is a guarantee
and you KNOW it mate.
Hail Hail the Non-Smoking Spurs are Here.
