Maybe there'll be designated smoking areas?
Pubs will lose more trade if smokers are banned from beer gardens.
The best place for a random chat is the smoking area on a night out |

Sometimes I do wonder whether the powers that be are actively and deliberately trying to kill off our remaining pubs?
Just round this way a historic pub has been forced to permanently close because the (incompetent) local council closed the adjoining car park |

I know people who avoid the pub because of smokers.
Our nearest pub back in the UK had a specific smoking area, but instead everyone stood in the doorway so that you had to walk through a tunnel of poison to get in there. Worse, the pavement was littered with fag butts. Awful!
I’d love to see the time when smokers have to go into a specific enclosed area to smoke in public.

agreed, there should be an easy solution to avoid scenarios like that. I'd guess that's upto hhe landlord detailing areas to prevent that. |

"Smoking In Beer Gardens Could Be Banned Under New Cigarette Laws.
I don't smoke and not entirely sure I agree with this ..
What's next ? Banning of fire pits and coal BBQs?
"
This is a good implementation and we can’t even blame the EU lol |

No worries built my own little pub, can sit there with my mates smoking my pipe filled with cherry tobacco, puffing away quite merrily as I drink my home brew. Got a good collection of pub ashtrays. Got the dartboard now saving up to get a bar billiard table |

Yet Alcohol causes more hospital admissions per year than smoking, and if the whole of the UK stopped smoking there would be a 9.5 billion hole in uk taxes...both cause toxic chemicals in the body why not ban both. |

Well
Good case for that too I suppose but in most places drinking is banned in public exempt pubs . You don’t drink at work or get places provided for you to do it .
And ask for smoking breaks well . |

They should have designated areas and people should stick to them. I avoid certain pub gardens because of this, as I don't want to have a family meal outside, and have to subject the kids to people smoking on the table next door as we eat. |

Restricting smokers is all about respecting peoples choices. If smoke was contained and couldn't be breathed in by others it wouldn't be a problem at all. Unfortunately, those who don't want to smoke are often forced to inhale other peoples' smoke because it is unavoidable.
I personally think that smoking at the pub should be restricted to just designated places & certainly moved away from doorways and entrances.

The big difference between smoking and drinking is that there is no Passive Drinking" where non drinkers are absorbing "Toxic Chemicals" just by being in the same room as a drinker. |

Of course they want pubs closed, they don't want people meeting up and talking, maybe forming protest groups, opposing legislation or dodgy planning applications.
The majority of committee or protest groups are initially formed in a pub. Remove the pubs and lessens the opposition. |

From a completely selfish point of view, I think it's a good idea as I detest cigarette smoke. Horrible sitting outside on a gorgeous summer's day and all you can smell is fags.
But trying to be impartial, I can understand why smokers would be pissed off. |

This is more to do with eradicating smoking than anything. An article this week said there are 6 mil smokers across the UK as a whole, the aim is to get that down to 1 mil.
Pubs will be fine, there was a similar fear when smoking inside was banned, my local saw a rise in patrons as more non smokers started to visit. I would imagine it’d be the same if smoking in Pub gardens was brought in |

Absolute rubbish, if you can’t smoke outside where can you smoke? It’s already banned inside. And no I’m not a smoker but I used to be, but people smoke it’s an addiction like alcoholism is or sometimes sex, but you don’t see them being banned. |

Firstly it's important to remember that there is actually no plans at the minute to ban smoking outside or in beer gardens, there is just an independent report where this is amongst the list of suggestions. It is also NOT suggesting banning smoking outside just specific places (ie. Beer Gardens, Beaches, Parks)
Secondly, there SHOULD be an active attempt to reduce the number of smokers and prevent youngsters from starting smoking. The addiction to smoking is easy to deal with through nicotine replacement products.
The big difference between smoking & other things which people may be addicted to is the "passive" exposure, this is not present with any other addiction.

I,as a smoker, concluded that it was more comfortable to stay at home, and have a drink (and cheaper) and a smoke, than being forced out of the public to be out in poor weather. Its the pubs that loose out, and another bit of British heritage, going down the drain |
