So, if the reason behind a public smoking ban is to protect the staff who work in smoky environments, what is special about those people that work in private clubs and places that don't serve food in England? Asbestos lungs perhaps?

as far as i know the big chains are all very anti-smoking anyway, and your comment of 'if only it was that easy to walk into good jobs' was taken by me to mean it wasn't that easy for people out there looking for bar work, where my experience of looking for bar work is that there are lots of jobs available, so the choice is there if people dont' want to work in the places where smoking isn't going to be allowed. your original post was about that wasn't it? protecting the staff in these places? and so surely my comment was quite relevant?

I wasn't talking about strictly bar jobs with that comment, more partly referring to myself, and bar managers in general.

As for the big chains, I don't know any pubs in Edinburgh that are smoke free, whether the big chains are against smoking or not. I know Wetherspoon's tried it in some pubs in the south of England I think.

wetherspoons and yates are supporting it fully all over england, the north is getting it too.

It looks to me like they're having a selection across the country at Wetherspoon, but not everywhere by any means.

ooh didn't know that one. the one in sunderland has smoking/non smoking areas and has for a while now, what would bother me if i was a non-smoking staff member is cleaning the ashtrays :S

Mmm...ashtrays was always one of the worse jobs...

[likeneontubing.livejournal.com]

i realise it's prob nothing to do with health, but these rooms where no staff will be required and people can smoke...

.. who's gonna clean em?!?!

have they made provision for this, but i've just missed it?

Yet another hole in the idea!
