Smoking while dining Alfresco ?

Great idea, especially when it is raining.

Smokers are expected to smoke outside during the winter while non smokers enjoy eating in the warm inside.

So in summer this should remain the same with non smokers eating inside and smokers outside.

Seems fair to me ;D ;D

Yes because non smokers deserve to be punished for not having a dirty smelly habit, seems fair.

loftyscot:
The waft of cigarette smoke is ok IMHO, much more tolerable than the LOUD mouth subject matter experts (on any topic!!) who just drone on and on and on and on. Now that is a habit I would definitely ban in all establishments.

Nothing worse when standing at the urinal enjoying quiet contemplation when the local encylopedia turns up next to you and begins his next diatribe. In those situations you should be allowed to turn 90 degrees and continue peeing  :)

Rover:
Hmm.. Before you make that 90 degree turn, you should check which way the wind is blowing!

Here are a few actual facts for the anti-smoking devotees to remember:

* In 2012 UK smokers contributed £12.1 billion to the exchequer - representing approximately 2% of total income, and 11.1% of the NHS budget, or the whole of Child Benefits.
* Smokers live on average five years less than non-smokers, representing a massive saving in pensions and health care.
* Smokers pay 10 times as much money towards the NHS as they cost.
* The UK is the third most expensive place to buy cigarettes in the world.
* The World Health Organisation stated that increasing prices had little or no effect on smoking rates.

It should be fairly clear from this that if smoking was actually banned, UK taxes would have to rise by substantially more than 2%.

Indisputable, you reckon?

Looks like Global Warming has run out of steam mate ;)

Sorry Jimbo I couldnt resist, at least we agree about passive smoking which is just as well sharing a table at the Little Prince with you and the two Gillie's ;D ;D ;D

Must do it again next summer 8)
