This all day long and yep cigarette breaks are way to regular where I've worked, normally tagged onto a tea or coffee break to make it even longer!

Clubs up and down the country have made provisions for their smokers to smoke at half time,this is a growing trend but maybe only something smokers see as a concern/benefit.
No one is asking the club to lay on cigs so comparing it to laying on craft beer is stupid......really really stupid

No that's including any games he's been to away from home where he can have on at HT. I don't object to it, it's his tough luck but I still find it odd that someone can't hold out that long

Haven't done an away game for 20 years so it never really mattered.
Personally though, I am quite happy to go without smoking for hours on end, I do when I fly so never really give it much thought.

why are you against all these grounds letting fans out to have a puff?
I remember the steward at millwall a few years back saying to me since they opened the away gates and let people out to drink and smoke outside at half time their life was much easier and trouble inside was massively reduced at half time.......treat people normally they will behave normally

Why can't people seem to cope without a beer or whatever for two hours at football?

Reading and Yeovil also let you have a fag at half time - I don't care now as I gave up a year go but can't see the issue with it to be fair. Personally I used to be able to cope for 1 hrs without one, but each to their own.

But you dont need to hang on that long at the amex if it was in line with other clubs.
I find it bizarre people object to Albion fans smoking outside at away games at half time

Well it's a few hours. Is it really that difficult? Personally I don't object to anyone smoking at half time, if there's somewhere to do it and they allowed. I find it even more bizarre that someone smokes & is prepared to have their clothes stink of it all day but each to their own I guess.

As I’ve smoked for over 50 of my 70+ years I find this this priggish ‘holier than thou’ attitude nauseating. So, what if I want to have a puff at half time – why on earth can’t I go outside the stadium to enjoy a smoke? I don’t enjoy cold lager or beer on a cold day and in any case, have something of an objection to standing in a long queue to get a pint, so where’s the issue? The health police are on fire in these parts and it is clear from the preceding posts that they could collect more unpaid volunteers from the Amex. That’s all very well, but they’re starting now on sugar (I think that they’ve done salt) and just you wait until they really get going on alcohol. The signs are there already, as they were with tobacco…
A growing trend? I thought smoking was decreasing in popularity. And I think you can see my point about craft beer....so please stop the obtuseness and pedantry.

What I find it bizarre is your campaign to suggest the Amex is not a modern thinking stadium and miles behind every other modern stadia just because you can't have a smoke at half time - like at Millwall.
