Quote: Alexs Dad "Eating and smoking is just gross. But if they are going out of our way to smoke (outside) then I don't see a problem.
To smokers, a pint and a cig go together, if you give them a decent facility then they won't be bothering non-smokers and there's a better chance the pub will stay open which is to everyones benefit.'"
the smokers may be happy but what about the non smoking members of staff or smoking members for that matter? It is their working environment, smoking is not allowed in the work place. The smoking ban was not primarily about those who smoke it was introduced to protect the workforce.
