Some of you on here are failing to see the woods for the trees!

The bottom line is our club is now actively promoting the inhaling of nicotine to children.

Still think the club should reissue the ban in the ground to appease the "think of the children!" Brigade, but the sponsorship of the South stand and selling branded ecigs are sound to me.

We've had gambling and alcohol sponsors in our sport before and do so today, why is nicotine any different?

I dont smoke and frankly loathe those who do, I dont want to breathe in passive smoke and so bans I'm all for.

As stated above, fine with the sponsorship, not fine with the ban being lifted.

Because my mate.
3 wrongs don't make one a right.

slightly moving away just a little.
I believe the reason we no longer have royalty as a guest handing over the cup any more is because on the last occasion HRH Queen Elizabeth II went to Wembley the challenge cup had a new sponsor she wasn't briefed upon and disapproved. Silk Cut.

Maybe they'll have a e-cig section in the ground at the back? Or maybe you could all realise that you breathe infar worse toxins everyday and don't even realise it. I used to smoke and haven't now for about 6 months but it still winds me up when people have a go at smokers. You have a right to not want to breathe in smoke, but they also have a right to smoke if that is their wish. Shizz happens, get over it. If you don't like it, move.

and why should we have to move for you?

You won't have to move from me. Why should smokers move from you? Looks like you're at a stalemate. Both have every right to be there tough luck innit

Woah it's like 7 years ago when the smoking ban came in, it's exactly the same

I was responsible for starting that thread up back then.
But wasn't that a decade ago?

Happy days.. i can smoke my ecig at the ground

I demand the right to moan about people getting pleasure from things when i dont. Moan moan moan that mans eating a pie in front of children moan moan, i might get grease in me blue rinse moan moan. I blame foreigners they invented tobacco moan moan.

Difficult dilemma we have here. Nicotine is a fairly addictive drug. But then so is alcohol and society currently is more accepting of this than nicotine. So if you ban advertisement of one, you probably have to do the same with the other.

My immediate response to nicotine advertisement would undoubtedly be 'ban it', but thinking about it logically, drunks cause a large number of social problems, and liver disease from alcohol abuse is a killer. So you could argue that between the two, alcohol poses more problems than nicotine.

Although it doesn't bother me that much, it seems to be bothering a lot of fans and this will surely affect attendance's, the clubs gotta look at reversing this. Or at least re-issuing the ban

£4 for a pint as well I noticed on Wednesday..

I would very much doubt this.
