I think its a smart thing. Over here they've banned smoking in pretty much all the public venues and its much more better while watching a game, or watching a concert and so on.

Personally I don't see what the problem is.. Smoking in a stadium is not smoking in a confined space, the smell drifts away after a couple of seconds... Its typical that the smoker always gets slammed whilst its perfectly acceptable to drive around in your huge V8 petrol guzzling Jeep... Next they'll be banning swearing in the stadiums aswell... Traditionally the football stadium is a working man's place where he can go and unwinde on a Saturday afternoon, enjoy a few drinks and a couple of fags... Usually I have a J before i get into the stadium, too calm the nerves obviously, and I don't actually smoke when I'm inside, but other people smoking really doesn't bother me at all!

i suppose it was inevitable, but it just seems stupid cos your allowed to smoke in the concourses which is a confined space!!! wtf??!! i dunno, it just seems a bit extreme, at the end of the day its open space....

Not all of them.
As for the person who suggested that smoking might be banned at concerts- can you really imagine a gig without weed? It's part of the ambience, even when I didn't smoke, I enjoyed it

Theres a bloke in front of me who smokes like a chimney, must be about 60 per game, try that out for 90 mins every home game for the last 15 years, (since i got my season ticket) not very nice.
