Sadly when you (generally) are in such a state you are no longer capable of noticing the impact you are having on people. And these people don't necessarily have the choice to avoid you where you avoid smoking places. I think pubs/nightclubs should be able to have the choice whether they permit smoking inside. I doubt it would effect trading overlly. You could have two pubs next to each other, one smoking, the other not which would be full of each side. Keeping smokers outside is terrible. Not only for them but for neighbouring residents having to put up with mass clouds of smoke drifting on the wind. For pubs that don't have outside space anyone entering the estashblishment has to walk through a cloud of smoke and often rowdy drinkers - not always a thrill! Also, the cigarette butts being flicked or stubbed everywhere but the silly "extinguishing" guard things attached to the wall. I remember being in Dublin, before the ban was enforced over here, in a hotel there was a wedding reception being held at the same hotel I was at which obviously went on late into the night. With everyone going "out back" to have a smoke drove the smoke everywhere throughout the hotel. You couldnt get away from it. If the place allowed smoking I probably would have escaped a smelly nights sleep. *shrugs*

I wouldn't have called that a "mess up". I assumed that phrase meant there had been a misunderstanding somewhere along the lines but it just seems to have been bad luck on the architechts part. But thank you all the same for bringing me up to speed *rolls eyes* Katgod a word of advice... don't assume if someone asks a question that may seem a little outdated that they don't know the full story. It's all about good debating skills ;-)

Chav... does one get effected if theyre blonde? ;-)
