    On the eve of a national smoking ban announcement what is everyones thoughts?

    Personally this suits me down to the ground. As a non-smoker I have long looked forward to the day that I can have a good days playing without returning home to find myself smelling like an ash tray.

    Most Gamblers reply on a cigarette to feel satisfaction of winning, to celebrate, to relieve the stress of playing a m/c, and even more so chain smoking when u lose heavily.

    Personally I smoke and I enjoy it, as it helps my gambling along the way, mainly I find it relieves stress and helps u to relax due to dopeamine, the chemical in the mind released to either relax or stimulate u.

    OK I am not against the anti-smoking campaign, and the smell and effects from it such as passive smoking, cancer, haeart disease, etc. are as likely 2 occur in anyone else. Smoking is like saying u have free speech but havent - but thinking of it like that you dont have free speech - say u called a police officer a twat 100x then they could arest you.

    Its all down to the government being WAN*ERS!!!

    Don't fancy the idea of a smoking ban, but obviously will continue to play wherever I can make a profit regularly!!!!!!!

    i love the idea, but can see where ppl are coming from with the fact of when losing they can light up. but i hate it when the guy stood next to you playing a machine is smooking and is losing/wining as then your get the face full of smoke either "get in there" or "f***ing hell not again".
