The evil weed

**NAE NOOKIE** · 22-08-2010 07:47 PM

How good was it for us poor long suffering social lepers to be allowed out the back of the East for a fag at half time.

Was told by a steward that it was only for this game coz there was a burger van outside the stand.

C'mon Hibs ... today was a prime example of how simple it is to let folk out for a puff at half time, so please make it a regular thing.

Instead the bogs will be filled with smoke with a waste of stewards policing it

Suggested that earlier on today. Not only would it stop folk from smoking in the toilets and wasting stewards time checking on them it would also make more space in the concourse for fans buying food or using the toilets.

It makes sense. After all it is outside and would not be a fire risk as far as I can tell.

folk that smoke in bogs in football stadiums shouldn't be allowed out the mental home they come from..

Well they don't get Sky or ESPN where I am and I'm always back on time. So there.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 23-08-2010 05:41 AM

2hrs without a fag, what a hardship!

Indeed. Those poor souls.

Imagine all that clean oxygen they have to endure for a couple of hours.... its horrifying.

***Callum_62*** · 23-08-2010 06:34 AM

How do smokers manage to go on holiday abroad? You can't just nip out the back door of an aeroplane...

***Callum_62*** · 23-08-2010 07:03 AM

drink therselves into a stooper?

***Frazerbob*** · 23-08-2010 08:36 AM

The gates at the East can be closed so there is no access during the game therefor no reason for this not to happen every game. Makes for a better experience for smokers and non-smokers alike so why would anyone have a problem?

Well on that basis how's about not serving food. If folk can't last for 2 hours without having a pie or a pizza then got pity then.

It's a smoke outside we are talking about here and not doing anybody (except ourselves) any harm.

**Moody Mulder** · 23-08-2010 09:55 AM

presumably all the folks having a go at us smokers dinnae drive a motor vehicle where what comes out the exhaust is far more noxious than fag smoke !!!

As someone who has never smoked, its not something that bothers me, but the space out the back is enclosed, so shouldn't pose any problems and does stop the bogs becoming a place folk will smoke in, something i don't like.

**Ritchie** · 23-08-2010 10:00 AM

bring back capital punishment..... smokers must die!!

what he said

**Holmesdale Hibs** · 23-08-2010 10:07 AM

Seems like a good idea to me. We should be doing everything we can to make give our fans a good experience.

I'm not a smoker myself but if people want to smoke in an area where I won't notice then I'm all for it.

I dont demand to be able to drive my car at the back of the stadium at half time though and i can usually last 2 hours without the need to drive.

Serving food makes money for hibs, letting people smoke does not, unless they start to sell cigarettes at half time?

If there is a commonsense and easily policed solution that keeps everybody happy it should be used.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 23-08-2010 11:24 AM

Maybe I should have put one of these on my 1st post

! 'cos I couldnae give a flying one whether folk smoke or not!

***greenlex*** · 23-08-2010 06:25 PM

It Could only happen in the east and west where the outside area is able to be closed off. The poor away fans and folks In the Famous Five wouldn't be able to fo it so for that reason it wong happen.

Eh .. you just have to suffer. Answered your own question too I see.

What I find strange is the non smokers who post on threads like these and seem to take pleasure out of the fact that smokers cant have a fag at the game, even though what the club needs to do to make this happen would cause them no problems or inconvenience at all.

I know many people are anti smoking which is fine. I have many friends who dont allow smoking in their houses, which is fine. Oot the back for a fag it is. They dont tell me I cant go into the garden for a fag coz they know it would spoil my visit to their house.

Thats all I ask from Hibs.

The Hibs family is it ?

**jdships** · 23-08-2010 09:22 PM

How do people "survive" on a longhaul flight without a fag ?
I'm an ex 30/40 a day man by the way .

ANY Real Family - Wouldnt Mind You Nipping out the Back For a PUFF !!!!

**~~mcaitchi~~** · 23-08-2010 09:42 PM

AND WATCHING HIBS !!!!

IT`S ENUF TO MAKE PEOPLE START SMOKING

***CallumLaidlaw*** · 23-08-2010 10:10 PM

I'm a non-smoker and never have, but I think if the club could do what they did on sunday, all the time then they should. I'm sure the same amount of stewards they use checking the toilets at half time, could police this.
When me and my dad saw this on sunday, we both said what common sense it was.

It wouldn't be a problem if they made the FF a family stand as suggested in other threads. As for the away fans **** em.
Anyway have I just been an ignorant pig for the last few years as always been able to have a smoke in the east, even last season.

It's simples really, have a few and go to sleep. The way I get round it is to stay up for as long as possible and just before get on the plane take a couple of sleeping tablets. Not really the best thing to do if going to watch the football.

Thing I've never understood is why is it against the law to smoke at the football? You are in an outdoor space. Is it not like going down the pub and sitting in the beer garden.
If it's to much of a problem they could have like a smoking section where only 18+ can go and they don't sell food or anything.
