Stella Artois 1366 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 What's Hampden's official policy of smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes during a game? Not a smoker myself but asking for a mate who'll be joining me at our next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Seriously? Smoking has been banned in enclosed spaces for quite some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyDenoon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Go for a piss at half time and almost everyone in the bog is smoking. It's like walking into a smoke tunnel. They do feck all about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Artois 1366 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) So... they don't actually have a policy then. Ok, cheers. Edited September 18, 2015 by Stella Artois 1366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 There's a policy, and it's that you can't smoke anywhere in the stadium. As Flora says above, you can get away with it if you're careful not to get spotted. Most in the West Stand stay standing at half-time so I sit to hide from the stewards while having a fag and blowing the smoke downwards. Not nice for non-smokers around me I grant you but there's no way I can watch Scotland for a whole 90 minutes without a smoke..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worse than all the farts & smells mentioned in another thread. In fact you notice the smoke far less than other odours on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenblueeyes Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 So... they don't actually have a policy then. Ok, cheers. Aye - but you could have consideration for folks round about you. It's only 90 mins ffs...as an ex-smoker I can confirm I could last that length of time and longer without having a cigarette.. Can't stand e-cigs either. They literally get up my nose.....

fringo Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't think farts cause cancer though. I don't really think someone smoking in a large open air stadium causes it for others either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
