And anyone who really can't go 2 hours without a fag needs to get a grip. I guess these tender souls don't go on holidays abroad?

| the part of illegal people dont understand is the part about our government actively encouraging smoking for years, getting people hooked, making loads of money off them, then suddenly telling them they cant do it anymore and making them social leppers! BTW i stopped smoking a year ago.

| so there isn't millions of people of an older age (p.c) who got hooked on smoking years ago who are now being told they cant go into certain places they always used to? anyway just my opinion but turning a blind eye to people having a shady fag in the toilet cant do any harm can it? ( george michael may not agree)

yes you can, there is research to prove it,

| Quote ="Hull White Star"As a member of FC Voices, I will ask if it can go on the agenda for the next meeting for you for us to address the matter with John Cooper.
I have spoken to John Cooper about this when it came into being last year and he said if anyone was caught smoking in the stadium the stewards would ask them to put it out. If they were caught again then they would be thrown out.
As for the toilets he said stewards were going in at regular intervals to ensure no one was smoking in there, but its very difficult to do anything when people lock themselves into a cubicle and smoke.
It was becoming a joke in the ladies last year, everytime you opened the door a big plume of smoke came out.'"
Lets face it wether the club like it or not if they dont provide a smoking area people will continue to grab a few quick sneaky drags when they can.
At Old Trafford police turned a blind eye to it so long as it was done at the top of the stairs. Millenium Stadium opened up the outside areas.
I thought if you got caught you'd get thrown out. Now I know they'll just tell you to put it out i'll maybe just get as many drags in as I can before I get caught.
Hang me

Sorry Kosh gotta reply to that.
Do you let your kids walk down the street behind a bus?
Do you let them walk down a busy road?
Whats the air to cigarette smoke ratio from someone having a fag in a toilet cubicle?
All the answers to the above are all pathetic in relation to the real world.
You say what suits. Chemicals in food...ginetic crops.....'E'numbers.... only the sheep of you believe thats all fine and dandy. Because you are told.
Stop hammering the smokers cos the 'Sun' told you its bad......
Be honest here...how many people do you know who died of cancer and didn't smoke....and did a 'Roy Castle' neither. If you are truthful There's plenty.
But that won't go with the propaganda will it?

| Quote ="hullian"I posted the below last August and you stated you would take it as an agenda item to the next FC voices meeting with John Cooper.
Any update please ??
The issue of drinking in the stands is of a minor concern compared to the issue of smoking in the ground which completely contravenes Health and Safety but goes on week after week in the toilets and is largely ignored by the stewards.
I have written to Mr Cooper about this but wasn't even afforded the courtesy of a reply, perhaps FC Voices can table this as an agenda item for the next meeting ?'"
yes i smoke 40 aday but still last without havin one during the game.Yes its illegalbut so r a lot of things in this era but people still do it.
Did you use to stand outside the pub then n drink BEFORE the smoking ban ??????????????????????????????

| Quote ="Faithful One"Smoking in a public place is illegal. End of.
I have two dogs myself so understand your care and probably would have done the same, however, this shouldn't be used as an excuse to break the law.
I also disagree about having somewhere to go as they knew when the were taking smoking up as a habit that they couldn't have a cigarette in ideal conditions all of the time. If someone cannot manage 2 hours without one, then I would consider seeking medical help.'"
Totally disagree So have you never broken the law in your life ???
Never gone over the speed limit EVER ??? Which also is breaking the law.
The stadium should cater for EVERYONE not just the me myself and I
People also didnt know when they started smoking that all public places would be banned this was taken away from them.
The smokers arent looking to pollute you with there smoke!!!
All they are asking for is somewhere where they can have a cig when they need one if that means providing an area then so be it i dont have a problem with and you shouldn't either because it will be in a special area for SMOKERS is it that hard to understand.

| 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.

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?
