for all the people that moan about the smokers we were the one that stood out side the bar all winter, may i suggest that you eat inside if you don't like the smoke, or where you in the winter when the bars needed trade not sitting out side i guess
As we have a bar here on the Urb, I must say the smoking ban was a real worry for us. Seeing the problems it has caused in the UK with so many places closing down we were concerned as to the effects it may have on our business. Fortunately as the whether is good here most of the year......not to cold to sit outside, we have found that things have been fine for us. People knew the ban was coming into force and happily go outside to smoke.
I think if they were to bring in some crazy ban like not being able to smoke within 50 meters of the premises, then all the bar and restaurant owners here may as well close our doors now. As for wanting to attract more tourists o the area, I think you could forget that as well. I pray to god this never happens, because no business here means no work for me, so I would be another of the many who are having to pack up their things and head back to the UK.
Bye the way I am NOT a smoker.
