They’re noisy and dangerous and you have to stand in the cold to watch them

    In Switzerland, theres an upcoming vote on banning private fireworks entirely in a few weeks. And it looks like it might pass by a big margin. People are just tired of it.

    It was fun as a child, but back then we had very little fireworks, and only on the national holiday. Nowadays, theres constant banging for several days around both new year and the national holiday. I hate the fucking noise and will vote yes on the ban.

      I think there should be strict time periods of setting them off

      Although I’m pretty sure they are banned in Northern Ireland and people keep setting them off here.

        Swiss authorities will never pass up an opportunity to fine you, so I don’t think we’ll have an enforcement issue.
