Good News for Smokers
Later this month the next part of smoking regulations come into force in Dubai.
Smoking will be banned in all enclosed places. Bars/restaurants will be allowed separate smoking areas but they will have to be enclosed. So no allowing smoking at the bar like they do in places such as Malecon and Apres.
the quiz night is starting to look so much more pleasant lol

If you don't want to smoke, go to a no-smoking bar. Would it not be better to let bars chose their policy, then let the public decide?

Re: Good News for Smokers
by the same argument people should be allowed to snort cocaine off bar tops.
if they want to do it then its their human right to do so!
and what about people who work in bars and have a higher risk of cancer due to smokers? they dont have a choice.

If someone wants to work in a smoking bar, they apply for a job there. If they want to be non-smoking bar they apply there.
It's called freedom of choice.
By the way, the cocaine argument is strange - it is an illegal substance (tobacco is not, yet).

Re: Good News for Smokers
Happy to wade in here and support you on this one Inse, as possibly the only other non-smoking quiz member! I just hope they enforce it properly. You and I are the only worthwhile members of the quiz team anyway - let the rest of them smoke themselves out in a cupboard somewhere...

Re: Good News for Smokers
I don't see why they can't have segregated areas so everyone can still go in whichever bar they choose. It's not great stinking of smoke when you get home, but on the other hand, pubs in the UK smell weird now - a mixture of BO, farts and beer. Not pleasant.
