Right, I'm not a smoker however it generally does not bother me (unless I'm eating).
I usually go out round town and many of the bars and the main club there have always had an outside area, be it a rooftop bar, terrace outside etc. It was always pleasant to go out there in the summer when it got too hot inside.
But - in light of the smoking ban the places have obviously made these into designated smoking areas. You go out there and its rammed full of people and the smoke is overpowering! I know it's outside but it still lingers like anything!
When they allowed smoking inside the clubs it was miles better - you had the same number of people smoking but they were spread out across the whole 1500 other people in the club and the aircon units suck the air out. Ye, it was a bit smokey but completely manageable!! Now you have a few hundred people all smoking, crammed into the same small place and if there's no wind it's like being stood in a fuckin drugs den! They're effectively making the outside areas no-go for non-smokers.
I'm not blaming people who smoke at all here - quite the opposite in fact - I'm blaming the cunts who have said you have to smoke here, can't smoke here, can smoke there etc etc!
