I can only see it as a good thing. I especially love the way that my clothes don't stink of smoke after a night out (and as I'm not a particularly sweaty/BO-ridden individual, this allows me to wear them again). Before, I had to wash clothes after 1 night out as they simply FELT dirty.
Pig wrote this in another thread though. Not wanting to derail it (hay jbg  ) I thought I'd stick it here:
Do you really think that'll happen, piglet? I can't realistically think of a situation where I'd be wondering what people are talking about outside, and go to join them. Even in the summer I'd rather just be where everyone else is. Just because they're outside having a smoke doesn't mean the conversation suddenly becomes exciting and different.
Come Autumn/Winter, there's no way people are going to be tempted to brave the cold weather outside to join their smoking buddies.
Most of my friends have (thankfully) given up smoking, or are in the process of doing it. I don't smoke. How many of you smoke? Will the ban encourage you to quit? |
1. If you go to clubs that stink of sweat you're probably going to shit clubs and deserve to die anyway.
2. Pig is generally correct. Im usually with smokers when i do go to terrible clubs; and if its a choice between stand outside with my mates who smoke or sit inside and listen to terrible music on my own at a table i know what id do any time. Weather regardless.
3. Quite a few of my friends have quit smoking; and indeed in my Uni friend group not a single one of them smoke. i think its generally helped people quit.
