Smokers as a group are without doubt the most selfish and inconsiderate group of people in existence. Why?, if we had ay common sense there should be smoking areas in the court then people would not have to smoke in the bog it seems to me NON Smokers as a group are without doubt the most selfish and inconsiderate group of people in existence. ps I am a NON Smoker myself but I have no objection to smoking as long we have separate non smoking and smoking areas, and I am including in doors |

Some people think it is a dirty habit, well I would not argue with that
but I believe in live and let live does non smoking make this world a better and happier place, I sincerely doubt it and we all die anyway, I regret to say |

if we had ay common sense there should be smoking areas in the court then people would not have to smoke in the bog -------------- You have overlooked the obvious fact that - You could NOT contain the Smoke WITHIN your, "smoking areas." - It would drift across, and into, ALL parts of the Hall. --------------- Which - leads me onto your next senseless post ... ebulGery 19 Sep 14 15:26 Some people think it is a dirty habit, well I would not argue with that but I believe in live and let live ----------- One of the main reasons that the Smoking Ban was brought in was because ....

If you were asthmatic ebulgery, you would change your opinion very quickly. It's a nonsense that people who decide to indulge in this dangerous habit should be allowed to pollute public spaces with their noxious fumes.
Anyone who wants to smoke should do it in private. |

When I used to work in an office the only thing I had to look forward to in life was disappearing to a cubicle for 20 minutes with a packet of Camels and a copy of the Sporting Life.
Take them away and how the hell does a man remain sane? |
|
By:
Smokers pay more tax than non-smokers, and they die younger, so it's less cost to the NHS and pensions.
We should be able to smoke anywhere. Unlike pissheads, who drink everywhere, they should be made to stay indoors, or in pubs. I seem to recall that loads of non-smokers on here were going to flock back to pubs when smoking was banned in them. If they represented the common non-smoker, why have so many pubs closed down? |

Would have been alive today but for passive smoke. "dedecations what you need ,if you want to be a record breaker". Met his wife once ,a lovely lady. Roy deserves a postumus knighthood.

One of the main reasons that the Smoking Ban was brought in was because ....
'PASSIVE (involuntary inhalation) Smoking' was KILLING innocent people. Hardly - "live and let LIVE," - therefore.Cry so you are saying without smoking nobody would die of lung cancer...I don't believe you |
|
By:
I am sorry for asthmatics...does that mean nobody else can smoke foinavon?
I agree with screaming I agree with taxi hardly done much for business we don't know Roy Castle would not have got lung cancer anyway r.i.p. I liked him |
|
By:
I see onlooker sees my posts are senseless...perhaps
|
|
By:
Not all , but men who smoke are 23 times more likely to get lung cancer than those who don't.

Everyone who wants to can smoke ebulgery, just do it in your own yard please.

Not all , but men who smoke are 23 times more likely to get lung cancer than those who don't. what does that translate to in real odds and as for passive smoking...what chance is there that a whiff of someone else's will kill you???? working full time in smoking environment...but surely not a whiff, that is utterly ridiculous I am asking for reason here, smoking and no smoking areas do the job. In the past smoking was considered normal, in my opinion it was a better world |
|
By:
The tax is astronomical on cigarettes...totally unfair.
We live in a world ruled by kill joys |
|
By:
Sorry to labour the point but if I spend more than a few minutes in a smoke filled environment I'm likely to end up in casualty. Asthma attacks can and do kill people. There are many thousands of people in a similar situation.
All smokers are at risk of developing smoke allergy at any time and I know someone who nearly died from it so don't think that you are immune although I hope it never happens to you. |
|
By:
I don't smoke but our council house in the 70s / 80s resembled a turkish brothel. Never done me any harm cough .. Think smokers are treated unfairly tbf.
|
|
By:
Not much joy in watching a loved one die from the effects of smoking. Smoking industry destroyed a lot of lives ,they are just legalised drug peddlers.
Nice to see so many people using e-cigarettes to try and get off them. |
|
By:
Yes e cigarettes appear to be a great invention as they reduce harm to the smoker and don't affect anyone else.
|
|
By:
But there is a sane way of dealing with this, smoking and non smoking areas, one can use air extractors, fans etc
Also yes it would be lovely if everybody lives to a ripe old age, unfortunately our society cannot afford this we are just making life more miserable for ourselves so we can live longer miserable lives  Cheap alcohol and cigarettes should be available to all, it makes life more bearable, ok. |
