Smoking ban in Northern Ireland
Monday, 30 April 2007 09:11
A smoking ban in enclosed public places has come into effect in Northern Ireland.
It comes three years after the ban was introduced in the Republic.
Individuals will be fined £50 for smoking in a public place, while businesses could be fined up to £2,500 for failing to enforce the ban.
AdvertisementThe law will be enforced by local government environmental health officers.
The smoking ban is due to be extended to England on 1 July

better make sure you don't forget to go outside though, in NI it's a £50 fine if you smoke inside, what about down there?

Where does the street come into it?
Bus shelters and stations count (so long as it's surrounded by like three walls or something, I dunno)
But I don't mind in open spaces like the street... It's just when you're packed into a small space with loads of people, and someone lights up...

Well,the ban is there and you seem happy about it so if someone does spark a smoke up near you
then just walk away.............or even better still ask him or her do they have a spare smoke lol

It#s funny to see all the Pubs constructing Smoking rooms connected to their buildings... they look ridiculous (like litle glass greenhouses)

Its just a case of getting use to it,but when i was over in spain i did love the fact
that i could smoke indoors rathere than outdoors but i dont mind that much as its
not really a proplem as such.
