You’re kidding?! For once we came up with a decent rule and they don’t even bother applying it? Not even for ONE NIGHT? That’s really very disappointing.

Sad but true! Such incidents really happened but in a few places only. Being one of the organizers myself, I can confidently tell you that very few participating pubs disrespected their agreement with us at the very last minute!!… Typical Lebanese behavior of not sticking to their word!!!! What a shame!

However, most of the participating places have fully supported the initiative and smokers were asked to smoke outside!! Hard luck for having such an incident but you can’t generalize on all the event being a failure or a joke! It is evident that vandalizers are everywhere! We just made a point that people do want non-smoking nights and we’re on the right track of getting there!! be sure! We just need more support from you guys.

P.S. If I were in your shoes, I would have COMPLAINED BIG TIME, MADE IT A POINT TO THE MANAGER and LEFT THE PLACE WITHOUT CONTINUING THE NIGHT THERE OR PAYING THE BILL!!! THIS LEAVES A STRONGER IMPACT AND MAKES THEM RETHINK THAT THEY WILL ALSO LOSE BUSINESS IF THEY DON’T RESPECT NON-SMOKERS!!!

i think next time u shld try reversed psychology maybe it’ll work cause there’s this thing abt “typical lebanese people” that makes them brag about violating the rules :S

i think that they misinterpret the concept of freedom and openness… unfortunately!!!

Many countries have banned smoking in public places. But anti-smoking legislation would be unenforceable in Lebanon. We can’t even enforce basic traffic laws or littering in this country. What a sad state of affairs we’re in…
