sorry, will stop now. :)

looking back, I have to agree that ex smokers tend to be more evangelical than people who have never smoked. It is something I have tried hard not to do, since giving up.

Regarding this new legislation, my personal view is that the establishment should be able to choose what it will allow on the premises, but if smoking is allowed they should have to conform to some kind of standard regarding ventilation & warning notices.

That's because ex-smokers have far more experience of the downsides of smoking, we've had the chest infections, stinking clothes, watched our money go up in flames, listened to endless whining from non-smokers and put ourselves through at least a couple of months of hell by stopping smoking, I'd say we've more of a right to bitch than someone who's never smoked.

You've no right to bitch BECAUSE you smoked.

:LOL: I said I had tried hard, not that I succeeded :D

- it was a very scarey chest infection that finally convinced me, but it is the other things, like the smell and the amount of dust & general filth, that I notice more than anything, has improved. To an extent the improvement in my lungs has almost been taken for granted :)

There is no safe level of smoking - unlike alcohol.

Not true, you can buy alcohol from the age of 16 if you by a meal,basket of chips in some pubs.

A child from the age of 5 (five!) can drink alcohol at home with their parents consent.

Alcohol has an allowance guideline, not a safe level.

On what grounds do you make that claim? I was younger and more stupid, and therefore I smoked. Now I realise the error my my ways, have given up, and become anti-smoking.

TBH, I thinks it's a little unfair to infer that smokers are 'more stupid' than non-smokers.
