I’m signing this because it isn’t right, if the places are correctly sanitized, cleaned and spaced out correctly then there should be no problem.

It will affects business and the community.
As shisha smoker , I urge the Westminster council to reassess this matter.

Shisha places are good for people to relax in their free time and socialise.

I agree that it’s not fair to close shisha bars, whilst pubs and bars can open have number of people smoking in group or garden etc, and for those that don’t drink and can’t enter pubs it’s not fair that they can’t socialise, also the amount of restaurants and cafes that will close down because of this and the number of ppl that will loose there jobs

I'm signing because I want government to stop treating people like a bunch of kids. We are more than capable to make our own decisions, including smoking shisha. If they want to control our every move, let them pay for our mortgages too. Sick to

I am signing this to support all shisha business’s out there, enough with the government control their attention should be more focused on serious global issues and shisha is not one of them.

It is ok for people to stand outside pubs, bars & restaurants to smoke cigarettes but it is not ok for people to sit and smoke shisha.

No logic to this law

I'm signing because it's not fair to class shisha lounges under restricted businesses. I've not known a shisha lounge to close due to a covid outbreak. Lounges have excellent social distancing measures in place, better than some restaurants. Shisha lounges are where our communities come together to socialise. They are outdoors with only 50% enclosure, meaning fresh air circulation is better at a shisha lounge than a pub having all their windows open. To ban shisha lounges is a restriction on our right as a community to spend time with our friends in the outdoors.

Because I don’t agree with the Shisha ban, I don’t smoke shisha but my husband does, I don’t see a reason why it should be banned.
Covid-19 is not a reason !!!!!

I’m signing because it is not right to ban this form of socialising in my view.

I spend most of my social time at shisha cafes and most of my professional network had started at a shisha cafe.

This is unfair, it's a tradition of many of the minorities, and it will be seen as an insult to the many, and as double standards,
