Will smoking be missed from nights out?

[AB Asks]

The smoking ban is affecting people across the country, promising clubs and pubs that smell of all those odours normally masked by the cloud of smoke. Is anyone going to miss the smell of smoke on a night out? Will we regret banning smoking when pubs start to smell of stale sweat?

or stink of overdrenched perfume and aftershave !

I went to the pub when ban came in and it was a breath of fresh air, i could see the other side of the pub with out fighting through the mist of smoke and i actually left the pub and could still smell my perfum and not the scank smell of an ashtray, I say here here to the smoking ban!

Who writes these questions?! FFS....

And has the question author never met someone with terrible BO who is also a smoker?! If not, just to clarify for you; one of the first things you notice is that the smoke does nothing to drown out the smell of BO. (In fact the smoke and the BO often act together to provide an even more deeply unsettling aroma?.

Please, please think before you ask!

Glad to see the back of them I am. Never being a smoker I can enjoy having a swift half without the stench of stale fag smoke around me. My mrs is trying to give up and is doing well so far. B O is nasty but dont cause lung or throat cancer. You can wash bo away but not cancer caused by coffin nails.

Call me a smug non smoker but there is no way I'll miss breathing in someone else's cig smoke and reeking of it myself. It'll be so nice to wake up the next day with hair and attire free smoke! I also dislike it when someone is drunk and smoking as you never know where the cig is going to end up!

PS - AB Asks - don't know where you live, but in my area we have the various delightful inventions which people seem to buy into - these are in the form of deodrant and perfumes so people don't smell! We even wash and bath and get ready for an evening out! You can even purchase things like air freshners for the bathrooms! Tee hee :)
