bazzaw Posted March 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2013 While we are talking about smoking policy on Cunard ships -- I thought that the Brits here may be interested in this :) http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/mar/05/government-legislate-plain-cigarette-packaging They won't really go very well with the "Tuxedo" image of Formal nights.

Norfolk Brit Posted March 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ho hum, I see that "Ministers acknowledge that the ban is likely to be difficult for the police to enforce, but they believe peer group pressure will have an impact similar to the ban on drivers using mobile phones". Hmm, so it's not going to work either, then. Mary:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what impact it is having upon the purchasers/smokers though Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what impact it is having upon the purchasers/smokers though Barry I think they made a huge error putting different images on the packets. I can see them becoming collectable items just like Pokemon cards. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacia Posted March 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Smokers can just put them into a nice Cigarette case Do the cases come in elegant casual, semi-formal and formal styles? Smoking is bad enough, but violating the dress code...:eek: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted March 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2013 You won't think that for long when you see the images :) Barry Barry - in my line of business I see similar (and very much worse) images every single day. They bother me not one bit. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk Brit Posted March 7, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm very disappointed with this thread. I thought it was going to include tips and suggestions on the best places to smoke on Cunard ships. :( And I'd invested heavily in popcorn, all ready for a nice little squabble. Pathetic effort!
