The kids can play in a non smoking area.
Nobody is "forced" to work anywhere I am sure that there are smokers that would work in there!

But now everywhere stinks of sweat, BO, & Lynx, LOL.

At least the fag smoke masked everything else.

I used to go out clubbing or to a few bars and would come home stinking of smoke.
My clothes would have to go straight into the wash and I would have to have a shower to get rid of the smoke smell.

And no shower?


pheeeew.

Can't remember the last bit of research into BO and lung cancer.

Either way sounds like you're visiting some quality establishments :erm: :sick: :p:

Erm, their right to smoke ended on July 1st mate.

The trouble is that these people only seem to think that smokers have rights!
Am I correct in thinking that smokers are a minority?

Isn't it the case that minorities get to do what they want at the expense of the majority in these PC days?

hi all im from scotland and yes im a smoker, well just wait till the winter when you have to stand outside in the pouring rain for a smoke , i dont go out as much now and a lot of people i know that smoke are the same its ok in the summer but when its cold and wet i would rather stay in , and before you non smokers have a wee giggle i read today that the goverment are looking at stopping the sale of cheep booze ,
what next no sex if you make a noise , no smoking in your own car, or i bet that we will have to pay for the floods in england even though it doesnt consern us in scotland .
i cant wait till we are independant here in scotland im fed up with being told what i can and can not do .

It wouldn't surprise me if they do pick on smoking in the car next. It's a nightmare rolling up whilst on the M25. But seriously, it can't be too long now till that's banned too.

I read someone recently commenting on how there are more car accidents in LHD countries with the suggestion that it is far easier to ash out of the window and change gear when sitting in a RHD car, no crossing your arms in front of oneanother.

They still have a right to smoke. Just not in enclosed workplaces.

I believe you'll be worse off over all mate as the money flows the other way generally.

Why this is such an issue for lots of people I don't know. doesn't bother me that some of my tax money goes into the pot and is shared with Wales and Scotland. :)

Considering all the billions we send up to you every year, I doubt we'll be expecting a cheque anytime soon and I can't wait for independence either, difference is though over 50% of English people want it, you even vote for a party based on gaining Scottish independence and we are still lumbered with you!

Btw what makes you think your government would do anything different with regard to smoking?
