Its killing our pub and we're getting complaints from the local residents to the police and the environmental agency due to the increased noise from people being outside.
It is completely unworkable for us.
We have two bars, it would surely be more sensible to have one designated as non-smoking and offer people the choice.
A lot of people are buying cheap alcohol from supermarkets and staying at home with friends. Its killing our pub.

More power to your elbow. What next from Nanny State - alcohol-free pubs? Pork-free pigs? Let's
hope more pro-choice businessmen put their money where their mouth is. Do what thou wilt.

Read some G Orwell and A Huxley and you will realise how brainwashing works...Eliminating the very capability of formulating alternative thoughts, depriving people of choices is nothing new. At least stop preaching that it's all for everyone's wellbeing. After that just chose to ignore that i save lives, brought children to this world, have conscience, tend my garden; no, make me a pariah, pillory me and finally shoot me in the head because I sometimes go on a rampage and try to harm fellow human beings by emitting deadly smokes. I wonder though, if cigarette smelt like jasmine would it still be the focus of the moaners' attention?

Good on you, glad to see that at least there are few people still in this country that don't just sit back, shrug their shoulders and say "well, you can't really do much, the government says so" - they work for us remember? Why can't you say "it's my bar, it's my choice, and it's up to everyone else whether they want to come inside or not"?

As French Jews I am scare to see what UK became.It is becomming a dictaturial country as Germany under Hitler was.
Let me belive that there are still out there people with who remember what repretion get to Nazi...Armenia...libenon...China with just one pregenancy and so many other exemple in the world history.I am a woman of 45 years old and
travel a lot i am dismayed to bring-up my daughter in a world where there is not respect of human right,no more freedom, just the one to pay your taxe
and to not contest it...... We have elected people (that is nearly the same in every country) who belive they have the right the dicted how to live, up-bringing our children, how to eat how to sleep,how to drive, how to smoke,how to drink and if we let them do how to make love! We are not
anymore respect as individual. Look to who we gave the power for thoses decisions! Just want to remind a famous sentence:
_ "1. You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging thrift.
-2. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
-3. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening thestrong.
-4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
-5. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
-6. You cannot keep out of
trouble by spending more than your income.
-7. You cannot further the
brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
-8. You cannot establish
security on borrowed money.
-9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
-10. You cannot help men
permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. "

whilst I am a complete non smoker, I do not agree completely with the new legislation. This is simply due to the fact that before it was almost impossible to go out for a non smoker to bars etc - now it is the other way around - completely impossible for a smoker. - we need to have balance in society.

This must be the most corrupt government in living history. Yet again the majority of us are being led by the minority.My business is going down the pan but will the tax man give me any breaks, will he hell as like!There was no case to answer in the Bae corruption scandal, there is no truth in the cash for peerage row....My arse!! I am being snowed under by bloody red tape and officialdom, yet its me that pays for all of these "enforcers" and other little Hitlers that are constantly on my doorstep>

As a Landlady I believe that we as Publicans should have been given the choice, either a smoking pub (Clearly Signed as such) or a non smoking pub. Customers would then have the choice to drink in my pub and have a cigarette or go across the road. Simple. Choice.

Give the choice to the Publicans Smoking or Non Smoking pub. This in turn gives the choice to the customer and potential staff either drink/work in one or the other. Simple choice, correct me if I am wrong but I believed I was an Adult with the brain power to make my own choices. Obviously not. Now all my smoking customers are sat outside in the cold and all the non smoking customers are out their with them. The pub is empty WHAT'S ALL THAT ABOUT!!!!!

Many thanks for doing this.I, and 99% of my pub customers(smokers and non-smokers alike)are heartily sick of our current governing body dictating how we spend our leisure time while they may still choose to smoke in their workplace! Following the first winter of the ban if I have to close my pub due to the dramatic drop in trade which is already having an effect on me and many others I shall consider them personally responsible. Overnight they have succeeded in ruining the social life of this once great nation of ours. The sooner their arrogant invasion of our freedom of choice is halted, regarding not only smoking but many other issues the better off we will all be.We must all use our vote in the next general election very wisely. By the way, do we still have freedom of speech or will I be locked in chains and flung in a dungeon for sharing these views with you? All the best and more signatures on the way.

This ban is proving to be divisive and discriminatory. It is setting neighbour against neighbour by forcing law abiding smokers and their non-smoking friends onto the streets. For the first time in a civilised 'free' country the citizens are being forced to police each other. This used to happen only in novels about life behind the Iron Curtain.

Enough is enough. The government is elected by the people and is supposed to represent the people. I was not asked my views on the ridiculous views this government is currently forcing upon us. I want my right to decide and freedom of choice back!! What on earth was wrong with having smoking and no smoking areas? Is it simply freedom of choice the government are opposed to? It certainly looks that way.

I am sick to the back teeth of anti smoking dogooders influencing the government on decisions that affect millions of lives.They do not give a dam about all the jobs that will be lost due to this ban. They have picked on smokers because we are an easy target. I urge everyone who smokes to vote for another party come election day thats where it will hurt this labour party in the ballet box. They may realise then that the British people will not be dictated too,they dont mind taking the tax from every packet of cigarettes we buy, and then deny us an inside place to smoke them its hypocritical.I would like to add my father and his father before him fought for this country to be free and it now proves with very good evidence that we are no longer free but governed by a Hypocritical, dictorial, party that is determined to make britain a nanny state.It is time we stuck together again.

51 years old and a smoker for 37 years, don't cry for me! BUT Enough is Enough! The war veterans, forced to freeze to death on the streets of this god-foresaken country when all they want is their right to have a quiet beer at a public bar!! This government have played their ace card. We are too nice to see our landlords fined at £2500, given the £50 spot fine I would make a stance as would many others but our nature is to protect the endangered (Landlord) and behave. Please support this campaign as I have.

YOu had not only made a fascist law that simply forces people not to smoke you had gave no support at all to the doormen and managers that has to deal with doped and drunk people at night, the calls to 999 takes more than 2 hours for police to arrive, so...
We can't smoke with no alternative, we have to put our lives on danger and if else we can go to court for a situation created for a stupid no sense ban.
Where's democracy?, people doesn't HAVE to take my smoke, they can go to a non smokers place, why 300 people has to be in a balcony while 4 non smokers are inside...
I don't want to comform to the Californian Style you like, you are stupid and insensitive, non practical and amazinly ridiculuos.
Why you don't take care of the drug dealers, how can people take extasis, snore coke, get drunk like dunkies and not have a cigarrette, your a stupid to the bones.

The total smoking ban in pubs and clubs takes away any choice people had before.It amounts to unnecessary discrimination, against the fourteen million people that smoke in the UK.

I appreciate people's right to not smoke or breathe in smoke but there are plenty of establishments with walled separation which were never given the chance to prove they could keep both smokers and non-smokers happy. I only smoke when I have an alcoholic drink, I'm not a smoker when I eat and I'm certainly not a 'stand-in-the street' smoker so the only opportunity I enjoy smoking has been taken away from me.

I have no problem with smoking not being allowed in enclosed spaces where the public have to go, like shopping precincts or places of work. But making it against the law in places of leisure where a person does not have to be (or work), including outdoor places like car parks and hospital grounds, is going too far. I also think indoor smoking areas should be provided in potential stress areas like airports.

Activists want smoking stubbed out
Anti-smoking activists plan to ramp up their campaign against tobacco today by launching a 10 year plan to make New Zealand smoke free.
Ben Youdan of ASH says smoking is killing four and a half thousand New Zealanders every year and it is time to get more radical about wiping out cigarettes. He says the next logical step is a complete ban on smoking.
The 10-year plan will be launched at the Oceania Tobacco Control Conference in Auckland

I endorse everything that has already been said with regards to this petition, but would just reiterate that Pubs are for Drinking and Smoking!! It's ridiculous to put the Majority outside and leave the Minority inside!! Surely, that fact speaks for itself! As far as Airports are concerned, their treatment of smokers is abysmal!! and has been for some years, now. Okay, we can't smoke on the plane - that's bad enough - and then they want to sell you alcohol (and cigarettes.....) - No Thanks! Not without a cigarette! But at least you should be able to light up as soon as you get off the plane, as we used to be able to! Talk about stressful!! Get rid of this Stupid Government NOW!!

I couldn't agree more with everyones comments. My local is losing trade, what is wrong with letting the landlord choose if his premises are smoking or non smoking. My partner (a non smoker) hates the ban because she is on her own when we go outside for a smoke, it was always her choice to enter a smoking pub in the past. I'm glad you mentioned all the smoking bars in parliament, not too many people are aware of this, democracy in action!!!Please publish this site elsewhere, I only found it by chance via Eastenders, more people should be aware of it.

I believe that the claims for harm caused through passive smoking have been greatly overdone. I remain to be convinced that any material harm is caused by secondhand smoke. The rights of some to have a smoke-free environment must, in the interests of fairness, be balanced against the rights of smokers. A blanket ban on smoking in public enclosed spaces is not reasonable and fails to acknowledge the freedom of expression of a significant proportion of the population.

The risk antis have proposed for SHS is based largely on unscientific studies (ASH have admitted as such) and despite this AND 40 years of research the risk they've managed to find is miniscule, even for people continually exposed to it throughout their lifetime.
Small risks do not require punitive and destructive laws. Pro ban lawmakers are using exposives to crack a walnut

Although this Smoking Ban Experiment has been introduced by the government led by ASH and Liam Donaldson, it really is an EU Directive, influenced by an EU Youth Forum, and other anti-smoking zealots that has brought this about and is going to get much worse. Markos Kyprianou, Health Minister of the EU, and ex-smoker, is totally committed to creating a smokefree Europe, and doesn't intend to let anyone, or anything stop him, he said it cannot be left up to individual countries to decide on a ban, they have to be forced. He refuses to speak to the tobacco industry, he say's 'why should I talk to people that sell products that kill'. In time the EU will introduce a law that prevents anyone challenging the Smoking Ban Experiment. So regardless of whether the government want to repeal/amend this SBE the EU won't allow it. But if millions of people put enough pressure on it'll tell them we're not going to keep being dictated to by the government and EU.

Our rights in a SUPPOSED free society are being taken away at an alarming rate! Publicans should have the choice as to whether their establishments are smoking or non smoking. We don't force anyone to come in or force staff to work in an environment that they are not happy with. We are in Europe the same as Spain - if they can prchase a licence for about £100 for a year to permit smoking... why can't we?

An inappropriate and ill-thought out way of cutting smoking prevalence. The tobacco companies can't advertise so Parliament made sure that the camaraderie of smoking is forced outside in full view of the next generation. Many recreational venues are where adults do legal things that they don't want to do in front of young people and community pubs help young people learn how to behave and drink responsibly --- Well Done and so you should be! Hatred took over from commonsense.

I think the ban on smoking in Pubs and Private clubs is disastrous for both. It has already ruined the atmousphere in the three Pubs in our village. They now have to turn themselves into Restaurents to survive and the regular drinkers are disapearing. Ten years (or less) from now the English pub will be a thing of the past.

i dont smoke now but i feel those that do should have the right to.
i can see the point of some restrictions for example in retuarants but as usual this government has to go over the top and impose a total ban in some case a ban in stupid places for example in company vehicles especially when it is only driven by the one person.
as an ex hgv driver and in the days when i did smoke it would have been intolerable not to be able to have a smoke on long journeys, how many hours of work are going to be lost as drivers park up and stand at the side of the lorry to have a smoke break.

further to my previous tirade it is just a thought but playing the government at their own stupid game i would say "IF" smoking is as bad as they say then the government surely has "A DUTY OF CARE" to us and to protect our health they should make it totally illegal. BUT they will not do this because of the immense amount of revenue from ridiculous levels of taxation that they pocket every year.
talk about two faced the health minister versus the chancellor
but it is still the same government.

What annoys me more than anything is that there are not more people like Harry Barnett,Hamish Howitt and Nick Hogan in the UK willing to fight for everyone elses rights.If everyone would stand up and be counted the government would have no option but to reverse this ridiculous ruling.(Remember what people power did to remove the Poll Tax?)What has this nation become? We just sit back and make out its not happening to us.Wake up Britain before its too late.This is just one of many rulings designed to take away our civil liberties.As a non smoker it may seem strange that i dont support this ridiculous ban,After all i can go wherever i want to eat or drink,i should be happy! When smoking in pubs was allowed i just went somewhere else,it was not difficult and it was my choice.Smokers on the other hand no longer have this freedom anymore and no doubt in time the government will ban smoking in all public places.Maybe then you will all stand up and have a moan.
We are adults and are more than capable of deciding wether or not to patronise a pub or club based on its smoking rules.
The government should keeps its nose out and let the businessman decide its own smoking policy.

Most of the comments here are absolutely correct with the exception that the legislation actually comes from the European Parliament. Blair just buckled in to them as usual knowing full well that he was out of the job a few months after it became "Law". Maggie would have stuck two fingers up to them saying "We can handle our own laws thank you very much". I`m glad I saw your petition and fully support it. Luckily I`m just a white van man these days so I can have a smoke whenever I want one through the day but have sadly had to stop visiting my local - it`s just too much hassle now.

What a pathetic dictatorial totalitarian fascist piece of legislation this is. Based on the junk science myth of danger of second hand smoke. we are all being brainwashed. Landlords should have the right to decide whether to allow smoking, in their establishment. Some decent ventilation system is cheaper than a smoke shelter.
Stop vilifying and making scapegoats of smokers, for whatever disease. The most spiteful & hypocritical law ever thought up. Drinkers and the obese are next target of the "Health Puritans", with a we know what is best attitude!
I hope the Germans, French, Dutch and other European countries don't give up their resistance agianst the smoking bans in bars, in the name of civil liberty! Health zealots and puritans need to be kept in check, dictating to other people with different views!

Yes sir. I am in.
Just some thoughts for you.
What I have noticed about the smoking ban is it is enforced by consent. Where people do not consent in large numbers, the policy is not enforced. A good example of this is the entrance to London Bridge station. On mass people have consistently ignored the signs and the ban and adopted the undercover entrance as the smoking area. The Police and the authorities have now backed away from any enforcement in this area and left people alone. Another very good example is Leadenhall Market in London. Completely enclosed area but the authorities have been forced away from any enforcement by the huge volume of people standing outside the pubs who ignore the signs and the policy. In my view this is fear on the part of the government. They are so desperate to prove how popular this policy is that they do not want to do anything that may cause large scale public anger in the media.
I would be very interested to see what would happen if between 100 – 150 people all got together and went on a smoking pub crawl around London on a regular basis???

I feel so ashamed that our government has enforced this ban.Where are our human rights. people know the consequences when smoking so i feel it is their right as an individual to choose when and where they smoke. Smokers pay enough on tax in this country so give them a break. I for one would not abide by this rule of having to smoke outside if i were a smoker, i would rather get arrested at least i would still be in the warmth and not have to face the cold wet weather.The government must also realise that in my opinion drinking is far more harmful to others than smoking. you can kill someone through drink driving but not through smoking a cigarette. i hold my hand out to all of you smokers who have to face the harsh winters here and the only people to blame for this is our labour government. i for one shall not be voting for labour this year.

I fully support you in this fight to get this new labour lot out. The smoking ban is about as welcome as watching new labour lie through their back teeth.
I am a managing director and used to visit the local pubs every night and my spend with meals drinks etc was around £250 each and every week, since the ban I have never entered a pub and will never enter one again. I instead had a company build and install a home bar and all the pub friends attend our smoking bar upon invitation form us.
You have my full support

At time of writing 376 signatures out of your estimate of 20m smokers - not very impressive, is it?
From some of the comments I would say most are a bunch of cranks and freaks. And you sir, I suggest are simply an anti-Labour right wing Tory with a bee in your bonnet. I smoke but do it in places where it is not an annoyance to those who dont smoke. Also, setting up this site suggests you have more money than sense. May I also say that eating in out, especially with children, is now a much more agreeable experience without cigarette and cigar smoke wafting around the place.

I am in favour of CHOICE. Indoor public spaces, transport and the workplace should be non smoking. Pubs, private clubs and restaurants should be allowed to choose as can their staff and clientele. Porchways of shops and offices are inappropriate areas for smoking but have been forced on smokers and non smokers alike. Provision of enclosed, ventilated smoking areas should be compulsory upon employers.

The ban should not be a blanket ban. Allow establishments to provide a smoking room or for establishments to decide to be fully smoking. Peole can then make their own choice about whether to enter or not.

I hold the absolute belief that any premises should be given the choice to either allow or disallow smoking.

I spend a lot of time in Czech Republic. Most bars are smoking bars but there are often smoking and non-smoking room choices. Everyone is happy, everyone has CHOICE! Ironic that I have to look to a country, so long under Communist repression, for freedom of CHOICE.
Also the ban is illogical. How can it be "right" to blanket ban smoking yet allow 24 hour sales of liver crippling/crime inducing alcohol?

the labour party manifesto 2005 stated that bars that did not serve food +members clubs will not be included in any "workplace ban",but after being elected went back on there promiss,how lawfull is that?
patricia hewitt said she was voting against her own partys manifesto on health grounds,meanwhile thousands die annually in there filthy dirty hospitals of mrsa & c,diff.
incidently,proffesor doll has always said that secondry smoking did not cause cancer.
the sooner we get this nasty vindictive government out the better.

Once again being told what we can and cant do by this Government. Killing the traditional pub environment and look how many pubs are closing as a result. Why not go back to when you had a snug bar for smokers and the lounge. If people want to eat there are so many other places. Totally disagree with the ban
