Smoking is now illegal in a bar?
Of this is true then the country is a joke
So you don't consider a bar a public place?

What do you think is the purpose of a bar: where chimneys gather?

The joy of the common man is smoking cigarettes? Just listen to yourself my dear.
Nigerians are very difficult people to manage.We like to do things upside down and that is why things that work in other countries don't work here.
In Nigeria people trade on the railway lines,people defecate in the open without minding,we don't use designated places like bus stop,in places like port Harcourt,taxis are not painted for easy identification,safety and uniformity. When ever government decides to enforce these rules we are the first to shout that government doesn't consider the poor masses. How can one risk his life trading on the highway, rail lines,not using seat belts,lifebouy jackets in places of water transport yet we blame government when avoidable disaster happen.

I don't know why the British gave us independent in a hurry a left because we were never ripe to govern ourselves.

I would assume the ban in a bar, is limited to the open space. Every bar should ideally have a smoking area (room).

In the U. S people don't smoke inside the bars. They step outside to smoke which should be the right thing to do except the bar is an open air bar. You don't want to smoke and disturb other people because ure not the only person in the bar. To enforce it they don't need to arrest anybody. Just enforce bars put no smoking signs in the sitting areas and entrance and close down bars that don't comply. The bars will enforce it themselves.
The boldened isn't true for all the states in the US. Only a few state have that law, several bars allow smoking.

What about road users who drive useless cars emitting high carbons?

Do you consider people who don't like the sound and smoke before putting on your generator?

Hypocrite

Yes, all of that too should be addressed. Smoking vehicles, factories emitting smoke and noise pollution from generators, churches and mosques. Would you say we should not make laws on kidnapping because we have not fully tackled armed robbery, rape and other wrongs?

Your argument doesn't add up. Plus, I don't run my generator through the night by choice because I respect the tranquility of the night when folks need to sleep. I'm considerate like that

Very true Bro... If there's one thing Nigeria is good at it's that anything that gets here takes a different turn entirely. We're very good at that one.

I dey tells u... where person wan kush again?
[b]The fact say ee surprise me say them include bar for the list, no mean say Idea smoke ..
I stopped smoking because :

It increases the pain and discomfort one gets in any sickness at all, the malaria of a smoker is different from the malaria of a non smoker.

Smoking makes waking up in the morning very stressful; ee go be like say them pour Sansa inside my throat.

Smoking gives offensive odour , especially when it mixes with sweat; if you com spray cheap peff join am, you are on ur own.

Smoking attracts social stigma, even when you are in a bar; you go hear stuff like -"abeg control this tin we you dey blow ".
Smokers are easily made suspects of any misdemeanor, secretly or openly.

I gave up finally when I became a Christian in spirit and in faith: Yet, I don't think Bible condemned smoking. (If it did teach me please)
Strictly as it affected me.

The only thing I miss is the posing and swag I got or I think that I got when holding cigarette with two fingers, and the nostalgic feeling I got while smoking at the balcony, alone between 00:00 hr and 01:30 hrs.[/b]

Also name places where smokers can smoke because by literal interpretation everywhere and anywhere is a public place. Segregative law.

If i can't smoke inna the bar where else should we smoke? Inside bus or for church? Misplaced priorities


Most idiots condemning smokers on this thread won't hesitate to apply if BAT advertises vacancies. They condemn smoking but wish to earn decent salaries from working in a tobacco manufacturing company. Hypocrites
Isn't ironic that the federal ministry of health warns that smoker are liable to die young yet we have some persons smoking thereby digging their grave. If there were enough industries would any reasonable person apply to such companies that kill young people?

It's not an unusual law though. Many jurisdictions in Europe and the US have a similar prohibition on smoking in bars/restaurants.
