Smoking Ban in England
When the smoking ban is introduced to England, how are nightclubs planning to deal with the group of people who will have to go outside to smoke if there is no patio/garden/balcony type area?
I come from Manchester where there are lots of the old fashioned basement style nightclubs which don't have a realistic place to stand outside as the pavement is usually taken up by the queue to get in. Also I can see the door re-entry policy after a cig will become a nightmare.
I've not been up to Scotland recently so am interested to hear how they've handled this problem?

Hi, as you said. Scotland have already got our ban in place, and although everybody complained at first, it works really well, the only downside is that you have groups of smokers on the pavement outside the pubs and clubs which could be intimadating to passers by.
The nightclubs i believe make provision for smokers, they would need to or the would end up out of buisness. Workplaces too, they have adated well.
My daughter tells me that since they stopped smokers in the nightclubs you now notice the smell of sweaty bodies and fart lol.

Yep, I was out in Glasgow last night. Clubs that don't have an outdoor area (evencarparks and loading bays have canopies at the moment) give out wristbands (or, bizarrely, playing cards...) so you can get back in, and they usually pen off a bit of the pavement in front of the club.
I can really see the ban working, there are definately far less smokers now, most people can't be bothered going out for a fag especially when it's raining. But it's really weird waking up after a night out not stinking of smoke. Good obviously, but weird!
