Selfish, stupid, person smoking in Toilets at Dundee count - sets-off Fire Alarm 3 times.

Sideshowbob?

^whatever happened to Bob anyway?

he transformed himself into a ballot box to get his hole filled all day

Smokers as a group are without doubt the most selfish and inconsiderate group of people in existence.

Worse than bankers?

what if they're a banker who smokes?

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

Past performance does not indicate future results. Don't bank on it...

You planning to live forever Ken

I like disagreeing with people

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 ...

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.

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?

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?

could have been salmond having a liverner ?

Passive smoking killed thousands over the years , even killed Roy Castle

^^^ died 20 years ago now

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.

knighthood pushing it

Saville got one, why not Roy

good point

roys mrs still alive

so you are saying without smoking nobody would die of lung cancer...I don't believe you

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

I see onlooker sees my posts are senseless...perhaps

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.

Passive murderers, they should all be jailed
Glad I stopped

Quite likely to be no new inventions from Britain if nobody smokes. Very good for thinking.

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

The tax is astronomical on cigarettes...totally unfair.

We live in a world ruled by kill joys

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.

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.

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.

Yes e cigarettes appear to be a great invention as they reduce harm to the smoker and don't affect anyone else.

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.

If the Ebola virus hits us big time, I do not think it will only take smokers

e-cigs have doubled in sales every year since 2008 but remember long term implications are unknown as their only 11 years old, there was a time smoking anything was never considered a health danger, then, it's the countries biggest killer

I'm not against people smoking and drinking ebulgery although I have never smoked so don't miss whatever pleasure you derive from it. Perhaps smokers should set up their own clubs, sort of legalised drug dens where they can smoke , drink and chat up girls to their hearts content. Oh, that's what pubs used to be before the ban and being converted to restaurants.
My sister was a smoker. She died of cancer aged 50 so it does shorten life. She has already lost 18 years and her kids were deprived of their mother far too soon.
Never mind, she knew the risks but never thought it would happen to her. Sound familiar?

I can understand what you are saying Foinavon, after your experience
I am sorry it happened to you

Sadly I cannot change my position, life is hard end of

I believe in cheap alcohol and cigarettes for all

You are allowed to disagree ok

OK

EbulGery I respect your opinion as always but you are way out of touch on this one. The world is slowly coming round to the realisation that second hand smoke literally does kill.

If I invited you round to my house but told you I had a leaky boiler and you might get carbon monoxide poisoning you would probably decline.

As for alcohol, the world hasn't woken up to that one yet. You look at all the campaigns to stop smoking (stoptober etc) and yet nothing on alcohol. I am the last person to want to kill anyone's fun but with advances in science you have to change your thinking on things.

Dry July?

but you are way out of touch on this one

that's me

Day 20 as a non-smoker here.

e-cigs are the way!

Year 27 as a cigar smoker here.

Fack everybody else is the way!

Congratulations Stevie, you know it makes sense.

Stevie

taxi

bit forthright there ebul. apologies. quite drunk last night.

I like Joel's 'dry july' idea, but what prefer a different month - say arid August.

In two weeks time, my support will be for a campaign for a soft drinks September

No vino November.
