Emma, my dear; please try Nicotine patches. You will have a good start on those that do not admit that it is a filthy dirty habit. Make it your new years resolution - just for yourself.

YOU CAN DO IT.

no but in college they have a non smoking are aand a smoking and everyone is in the smoking and when you walk into the cafe area you cant really see ahead of you its so smokey and even for smokers it can be annoying.

they chose the bad habbit but why should non smokers have to go outside and freeze..

WITH THE hours ticking away to the smoking ban, the association of bar owners warned yesterday that the new law will be unenforceable as it is riddled with holes.
Association head Fanos Leventis claimed, for example, that establishments have not been informed on the proper procedures for putting up no-smoking signs.
He said that while the law requires all bars and restaurants to put up appropriate signs, it does not clarify what “appropriate” is.
The signs must be placed in highly visible spots and the writing must be readily legible. Failure to do so will result in a fine of up to €1,000.
“Who will decide what is appropriate? The police officer conducting the checks on-site? So the policeman will have to become lawman, judge and jury all at the same time,” Leventis said.
Leventis believes that if the previous law – which had provided for smoking and non-smoking areas – had been properly formulated and implemented, there would have been no need for an outright smoking ban.
As it stands, the new law provides for a fine of up to €2,000 for the person caught smoking where they shouldn’t be and also for the person responsible for allowing it to happen.
There are also provisions for on-the-spot fines, which currently stand at €37 – for both patrons and owners of establishments – but the police have proposed upping it to €85.
However, due to an oversight by lawmakers, a by-law governing on-the-spot fines does not presently include owners of establishments, only customers. In practical terms, this means police cannot issue an on-the-spot fine for the offending patron only, because that would constitute discrimination.
To get around this, the police will be pressing charges against both the patron and the owner, who would then appear in court and be liable for a €2,000 fine.
The police have proposed an amendment to the relevant by-law that would correct this discrepancy. The amendment was due to be discussed by the Cabinet.
Bar owners meanwhile are up in arms over another clause in the ban which states that persons responsible for the establishment are liable on a per-infraction basis. To illustrate, if 30 patrons are found smoking, they each would be served an on-the-spot fine (assuming the law is amended in the meantime to allow this), whereas the owner would be issued 30 fines.
Leventis said this was unfair on the owners, who were considering challenging the clause with the Supreme Court.
He also played another card, warning that if bar owners saw that business was taking a hit because of the ban, they would not hesitate to cut costs by laying off employees.

My self and my brother went to a restaurant last night , a place I have dined on numerous occasions but mostly sat outside, this , being December all diners sat inside the restaurant, including those that smoked like a bloody chimney , mostly women that I'm certain stunk like skunk, hand raised up to the top of the head in some fantasised gesture of being cool , or rather fashionable , never mind that their breaths would have caused convulsions to anyone merely approaching these misfortune smelly addicts.
Back to the meal now , both my self and brother enjoyed the liver , just plain char coaled along with lamb souvlaki a village salad pitta bread and a bottle , two actually my brother doesn't drink , of wine.

Towards the end of our meal the stench from the smokers became unbearable , I wanted to shout out , " is every Cypriot born with a fucking cigarette up his arse for God sake its so prevalent its unbelievable that in this day and age the Cypriots are still addicted to third world low down dated habits.

Come the 1st of January , and 5 more days left before returning to Bangladesh , London to those unfamiliar with the terminology , I look forward to having a few meals out without someone emitting poisonous smelly farts towards me.
GR take note Give this smelly dirty habit up !

I am indeed shocked that there are still restaurants permiting smoking 'inside'. The patrons must be desperate to frequent such places; mind boggles.

Come back quick my friend. Your pulmonary system will be safe here but I can not answer for your hepatic system

See you soon.

Your such ego than you don't care about others peoples health around you, BUT when it comes to your wife being pregant you stop smoking and so does she for the sake of your child? So you do realise its bad for you? What does that make you?

How about I came up to you and sprayed next to you aroxol and those toxic sprays to kill mosquitos every 10 minutes? How would like that?

When you smokers out there are able to answer this questions its going to be the day you will put your ego down and understand that you do harm around you!
