Once again you are right. My intention in starting this thread has been to get people to ban smoking from halls where the dancing takes place. My motivation is related to health. If you breathe cigarette smoke there is a chance that it will cause you to have an illness which might even shorten your life. At the very least it will cause you some short term discomfort.Originally posted by azande
I've always been of the opinion that if there is something you hate enough you just avoid it. If dancing is more important than a smoky place, well.. you go to those venues knowing what to expect.
The proportion of people who 'hate smoky dance floors' or are 'making a stand' is 71.4% and when you add in people who 'don't like' the percentage goes up to 82.5%. This is a massive vote against smoky dance floors.
This thread has been viewed 2889 times to date and has 139 replies. That means it is of interest to a lot of people. What we need to do now is to get the consumer to vote with his/her feet. And to do that they need to move towards something called 'perfect knowledge'. That is when the consumer knows everything about every product to come to a rational decision. This objective is never achievable - but it is an objective that we can move towards.
To take this from the debate stage we are currently in to the action stage we need to provide the consumer with better information about smoking policies within venues and also how smoky people find those smoking venues.
Has anyone got any suggestions to get this next phase started?
