I always used to say that Micheal Martin didn’t get enough credit for pushing through with it, but the Irish people also deserve credit for it. I thought it would be one of those laws that would be ignored, and bar one incident where I seen a lad light up in the academy in 2008, I’ve never seen it broken.
It was and still is a great success. An entire generation of people now who’ve grown up without second-hand smoke in pubs, restaurants, work and college.
“This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move”
Yeah, also the first country to add a levy to plastic bags. Feels like there used to be more momentum for this kind of stuff without our current need to do 500 studies and find another country that did it first.
I can remember when penneys had ashtrays dotted around the shop floor! Imagine, smoking in a clothes shop!
We’ll make up for it by being to last ban fox hunting, hare coursing, greyhound racing, etc.
Folks coming of age afterwards have no idea how good they have. Coming back from the pub, reeking of second hand smoke. One of the best quality of life improvements in my lifetime.
I was dead against it at the time as I loved marlboro light with a pint. Turned out to be the best thing ever. Finally I could actually have a conversation with girls in the smoking area instead of cupping my ear roaring WHAT, I CANT HEAR YOU!
Turned out I was actually charming and witty in the smoking area as opposed to bumping and grinding against girls on the dance floor (which was the style at the time)
Thank you smoking ban.
It was a great change! I was working in a pub when this happened. Before it happened I used to reek of smoke at the end of every night. The aul lads chain smoking at the bar used to really fumigate the place. I also distinctly remember the smell of sweat and farts in the days after, the smoke used to hide a lot.
Im a smoker and dont smoke in the house or the car with my son . A few of my friends smoke and they all go outside to smoke .
