why would you bother moaning about smoking, if they want to smoke in the toilets let them. I think they know the consequences if they get caught.

Should have just gone in the east stand then

i know of several people that have died from lung cancer from passive smoking, i work on a cardiothoracic ward, and see them every day of my workinglife, people who think smokers only get lung cancer think again, THEY DONT.

Nobody [ineeds[/i a cigarette. Wanting and needing are not the same thing. Anyone who can't hold on for a couple of hours is frankly pathetic IMO.

A smoking area inside the stadium is illegal anyway. It would have to be outside and largely uncovered to comply with the legislation.

And who would pay for it?

Apparently these people were figments of your imagination caused by reading [iThe Sun[/i.

Want or need Kosh both are fine by me so long as we cater for everyone i dont care.

And a fenced off area at the bottom of the stairs just outside the doors would not cost the earth for smokers, like they do at outside of pubs simple effect and then everyones happy.

The SMC should pay for the bits of fence at nearly £ 3 a burger and pie they can pay for almost everything

Why would it need to be fenced off? there are no restrictions on smoking outside the stadium as far as I am aware.

Surely that would be an area for smokers who have already passed through the turnstiles. It's probably not an unreasonable suggestion, I'm sure it's not the first time someone has made it.

As a non-smoker I couldn't care less. The smokers I do sit with can make it through a game without the need to run off and get a fix, when we've discussed it they don't mind having to wait until after.

So far we've had people on here asking for; Drinking to be allowed in the seats, better food and a smoking area. Does anybody go to watch the feckin rugby?

I myself do not drink, smoke or eat fast food during the season. I'm a good lad I am.

As an ex smoker (6 years stopped) I think the anti-smoking lobby has gone too far generally. I cant for the life of me think why they wouldnt for example allow folk to smoke near the barriers at pitch side during half-time. They wouldnt actually be "in an enclosed public place" in my view.

Other than that, allow people outside the stadium with a stamp on their wrist. Its not rocket science. Go to flamingo Park or anyhwere such as that and you are allowed out and back in with a simple stamp on your hand. They could change the word for every game to stop people stamping themselves. Or put some fencing round just with ticker tape and observe!!

Its very easy under the current "you cant do that" climate we have created to stop people doing almost anything they choose to do. Its also very easy or someone who has never smoked to criticise those wo do as they have no comprehension what the "need" for a cigarette entails.

smc might not want to clean up the cig ends or put on extra staff for other people to walk in and out the staduim.
supporters might not like standing up to let more people get by them while the games on.
