Councils to stub out big butts rise?

butts.jpgThe impact of the smoking ban has had it all. Landlords are scared about what their pubs will really smell like once the haze of smoke has gone. Pub operators have poured millions into rebuilding sites fit for outdoor smoking. Even the nasty phrase, smoking solutions, has reared its corporate head in response to the legislation.

Now, in a Daily Mirror exclusive there comes a warning that local councils expect litter levels to rise by 20% with an extra 25 tonnes of fag packets, dog ends, cellophane and matches will be discarded on the streets.

Smokers will be queuing up to say that that the smoking ban is a load of rubbish but now the growing anti smoking hoarders haven't got a leg to stand on - the smoking ban really will be a load of rubbish.

At the risk of inflaming FOREST (Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco) perhaps it would be more environmentally friendly for people to not smoke in the first place?

Amy Baker :

i feel that smoking should most definatley be banned from restaurants as no one should smoke around people eating "its pure rudeness" but however in a pub is a different matter, if you are a non smoker and want to go to a pub you should accept the concequences due to a pub is where all the lads go after work for a fag and a drink, pubs wouldnt be the same without that smokey atmosphere

Chris Druce :

That's true. I love going for a drink and coming back stinking to high heaven and needing to wash my clothes. I'd rather we kept some of our historic pub buildings than the actual smoke. Yuck!
