We need a smoking area!!!!

[DavidinSouthampton]

So because you gave up smoking you have the divine right to stop others?

That isn't what he said.

As a non-smoker - and having never smoked - I can smell a smoker from 100 yards. Smokers don't realise how unpleasant they can make life for other people. If I am listening to music in a public place, I am careful not to have the volume high enough to disturb other people. Why should smokers be able to inflict smoking on other people.

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.

Have you ever heard of Roy castle? Never smoked but died of Lung Cancer because of a lifetime performing in smoke-filled clubs and the like.

We have covered that one already. This Hysteria about passive smoking has reached absurd levels.

 

[Gullys Cats]

Think it some thing to think about but surely smokers can go a couple of Hours without a snout

 

[dreaming spires]

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 ).

Killing as many non smokers as you can along thE way.

Smoking and passive smoking kills. One day it will be banned.

So does lightning and large hailstones and the likelihood of dying from these events is about the same.

eh ..snuffing it from smoking is as likely as being hit by large hailstones/lightening...u sure about that one

 

[BensGrandad]

For what it is worth think that all pubs should revert to the old days of 2 bars, 1 of which should permit smoking but in order to obtain the licence to allow smoking the publican should be able to prove that the extraction is sufficient to ensure that the smoke is removed entirely thus not being able to spread to the other bar. The staff employed in that bar should be made aware and again given a choice to work in that bar or not without repercussions. If the club could provide a similar type area with sufficient extraction then fine do so for smokers before during half time and after the game but if not possible then the answer must be no smoking at al

PASSIVE smoking.

 

[LamieRobertson]

PASSIVE smoking.

thats clearer lol

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I think the risks of passive smoking have been vastly exagerrated.

 

[BensGrandad]

As a reformed non smoker I can walk into out kitchen now and tell if my sons or their partners have visited before my wife tells me.

 

[LamieRobertson]

i think smokers should be let out of the ground and moved down to the treatment works ...smell of smoke is marginally preferable to the current smell down there

 

[fork me]

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!

I'm a non-smoker and can't see why you'd ban those, they seem to me to be the perfect solution for everyone. Somkers get their fix, non-smokers aren't affected.

Whether you "buy" it or not, the scientific evidence is overwhelming.

Having smoking and non-smoking areas in buildings is as pointless as having pissing and non-pissing areas in swimming pools.

I'm sure you get the analogy.

How have you come to this conclusion? By actually studying the scientific evidence, or just because it's what you want to believe?

The scientific evidence is very flimsy , fabricated or non existant.

All that statement proves is that you either haven't studied it, or haven't understood it.

The scientific evidence is, as I said, overwhelming.

BTW, I have a degree in chemistry and have also studied degree level modules in human physiology, pharmacy and biochemistry. What qualifications do YOU have?
