Am I the only one to have noticed that in clubs pubs and enclosed public places the fact that a smoking ban has been brought into play you can smell a lots of 'new' smells that cigarette smoke obviously sheilded. One is smelly people and body odor especially in night clubs. Two the smell of people passing wind. Not a very nice subject but I wonder if anyone else had noticed this?

yes we went out a couple of weeks ago and we all commented on the same thing actually, it came to light when someone did a rather smelly botty burp!!
possibly the one bad thing about the ban-but at least you dont go home smelling of smoke now!!

There having to scent the air in some clubs are we a smelly bunch or wot?Clic here to read more

Maybe after smelling pleasing aromas they will behave better on the way home { through Abbey Foregate?} and not attack someone. :D

Yeah like arsnic !! Jke :lol:

Smokers who hang out on this board (like me) now have smug grins on our faces - serves you non-smokers right :)

Sorry Rhassaris, rather have the smell of sweat than of an old ash tray! Unforunately fag breath is something that people still have to endure at work after you smokers have youre fix, be interesting to see what winter brings!! I am an ashmatic and can tell you when I go into a pub now I dont have a coughing fit and can actually smell the booze more now !!

Smoking kills more than smokers it seems.

I have a friend who's asthmatic and she says that the smoking ban has changed her life. She can now go out in an evening (pubs/clubs etc) which is something she has never been able to do. If she went into a smokey room it was about a 9 in 10 chance she would have an asthma attack and about 1 in 10 chance it would severe (as in going to hospital severe) so she simply didn't dare go into a pub. Imagine being in your late 20s and having only been in a pub a few times without having to leave almost instantly.

Her exact words were that she feels normal now. She doesn't feel like a prisoner or leper any more.

Even if the smoking ban only help a few people like her then I think it's worth it.

The aftermath of the smoking ban is the piles of dog ends outside shops and offices,that guy who goes round town with his litter grabber sure is fighting a loosing battle .
