Keep children out says Blackburn shisha bar boss (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Mr Ozayr commented “For us in the Asian community, we don’t drink, so we don’t go to pubs, but we want somewhere to meet our mates in the evening that isn’t on the streets.”

Just so that you know for future comments Mr Ozayr, we don't go to pubs anymore, hence why all of them are closing. We like to stick to our cheap booze from the supermarket where we can get hammered on low priced, no frills cans of lager and alcopops that cost less than a bottle of water.

Tunaht nat nat nat…. I’m Lovin It

Smoking in public places is against the law, but that's OK, you need somewhere to meet your mates because you don't go to pubs. I smell something and it's not shisha.

Shisha bars should be made illegal. Some in the past have been linked to child grooming and on a separate issue the scandalous inequalities with regard to the smoking ban mean these places should be forcibly closed. Shisha is harmful as well. Why won't MPs campaign or put bills theough the House Of Commons to shut these places down? Oh I forgot they are all too busy chasing the Muslim block votes to keep them in power!

Yes yes...smoking is bad, we shouldn't be smoking....but Alcohol is not any better is it:

Alcohol affects your brain. Drinking alcohol leads to a loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes, distorted vision, memory lapses, and even blackouts.

Alcohol affects your body. Alcohol can damage every organ in your body (not just lungs). It is absorbed directly into your bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer.

Alcohol affects your self-control. Alcohol depresses your central nervous system, lowers your inhibitions, and impairs your judgment. Drinking can lead to risky behaviours, such as driving when you shouldn’t, or having unprotected sex (maybe why we have such a high teenage pregnancy rate).

Alcohol can kill you. Drinking large amounts of alcohol at one time or very rapidly can cause alcohol poisoning, which can lead to coma or even death. Driving and drinking also can be deadly. In 2012, 40 percent of drivers age 18 to 21 who died in traffic accidents had been drinking alcohol.

Alcohol can hurt you–even if you’re not the one drinking. If you’re around people who are drinking, you have an increased risk of being seriously injured, involved in car crashes, or affected by violence. At the very least, you may have to deal with people who are sick, out of control, or unable to take care of themselves.

I guess smoking is not as bad as drinking then is it....lmfao

And why are they allowed to smoke in a public place ?????????? one rule for one.

In Dubai and other places in the Middle East, shisha bars are a family place. People go there to gossip and catch up, kids and parents together.

If that is the case why don't you all pack your bags and go to Dubai? problem solved.

Wow, you're clever. Is it the school holidays over there or something or is childish statements all you can think of?

Would someone from the council explain why the anti-smoking laws are not being enforced with these establishments? I have seen many of these in Blackburn and they are totally enclosed places.

It also makes ugly women beautiful.

how come smoking is allowed in these bars but not in my local bars????

I think there should just be a clear rule that minors shouldn't be allowed in hookah or shisha bars. The government should make closed playground or something for them to play on.
