You're completely missing the point. Smoking isn't a personal habit, it affects everyone around you, wvwn outdoors. Why does the fact that you smoke give you a divine right to fill my lungs with carcinogenic smoke?

Can't remember where it was I saw it. Singapore? Bangkok? Think it was one or the other. Maybe both.

Possibly, not been through Singapore. I've been to Bangkok, but not being a smoker probably wouldn't have noticed. Having said that, I did notice that at Adu-Dhabi, they just had a normal room for people to smoke.

No it wouldn't. They would have one at half time and still light up on the way out.

But if people can't last a short trip on the P&R without having one ready, they will be gasping after 45-50 minutes

I'd never realised what a bunch of militant, puritanical arsehat's some non smokers are!!!
What is the problem of someone (smoking) a fake cigarette. harmless to anyone except the user. the banning of these is like banning the use of a mobile against a landline complete and utter nonsense.Ok so you cant smoke inside the ground but something that looks like a cigarette but is in not is maybe why we dont sell pastys because they look a bit like a pie. Bullshit!

This obsession with anti smoking is ridiculous. The utter f***ing bullshit peddled out about catching a puff of smoke being life threatening is total bollocks and I don't buy all this passive smoking shite either. I saw one of these fierce anti smoking women on the tv the other day and she was a fat f***, morbidly obese so I say sort your own house in order first. I don't agree with non smoking pubs , it is just a big stick, they could very easily have smoking areas in pubs and indeed the Amex and it would not affect the health Nazi's one bit but you see that will never be enough as these self righteous idiots get off on telling others what to do. Absolute farce.

Go and tell Roy Castles widow that passive smoking isn't harmful.

Extreme example, very few people have spent their working life taking big gulps of air to blow a trumpet (?) in a smokey working man's club
I think passive smoking effects outside pubs or football grounds is likely to be far less harmful than just living in London and breathing in the traffic fumes 24/7

My wife has never had a cigarette anywhere near her mouth but worked in a pub for many years and suffers with COPD and according to the doctor her lungs are very similar to somebody who has smoked everyday of their life..

Of course you can always come out with one example but that guy got it playing the trumpet at smoking clubs so was inhalling huge amounts of smoke, slightly different. I can tell you of all the people I know who have died young, ie under 60 the VAST majority of them led what would be considered a healthy lifestyle, non smokers, light drinkers or teetotalers and fitness regimes so my way of living on life is that is it all f***ing random shit and I will live my life the way I want to and will die when I am meant to die but I am not going to stop doing things I enjoy to satisfy the health nazi's ( like you ).

If it was just "catching a puff of smoke" i.e "a puff", once and once only then no problem but it's always a lot more then that. It's always a question of freedom of choice. Smokers want the freedom to smoke whereas us 'puritanical, spoilsports' want the freedom not to smoke, not to inhale others smoke and not to have to smell others who are smoking, or indeed have smoked. That's my choice of what freedom means and it's selfish in respect of my "rights" - why should smokers "rights" over rule mine?

It is bollocks though. You will not be adversely affected by inhalling a little bit of smoke. You will inhale much worse walking around Town so I do not buy all this bullshit but many many people have brought it. I don't like smelling other people's BO or sitting next to a fatty who lives on KFC but I live and let live.

I doubt you smoking 20 churchills a day helped

Probably not but it was within the confines of the pub as we were always in the bar and spent very little time in the flat other than sleeping

There's an E Cig user near me in WSU. Apart from the initial concern about plumes of smoke, no problem at all and, as has been used at a few games, it seems the stewards are taking a sensible approach.

I don't care about the health element, US, I don't think I'm likely to succumb to anything drastic as a result of you having a fag.
I just don't like not being able to breathe properly or walking around smelling of smoke. If you don't smoke, you have no idea how horrible it is. The issues you complain about now are very similar to those complained about for years by the majority of the population who don't smoke- its discriminatory, other people can just walk away if they don't like it, it's my right- except they're reversed.
The fact is, there used to be smoking areas in pubs, but they were completely worthless as the smoke drifts around the building resulting in everyone inhaling it. So you had the right to smoke, but nobody else had the right not to.
It's just the other way round now, so smokers have to move away, not non smokers. Nobody is stopping you smoking, they're only saying where you can do it. That's still a choice.
