Well I have no problem with your choice to smoke, it's the choice that others aren't currently given not to inhale your smoke in public - not private - places. Heck, puff away like a Vatican chimney come Pope time, but don't pass on your carcinogens to others. I'll make it more emotive now - fink of da little, wee children. How can they get comfortably blitzed on WKds in that fug of yours? ;)

Kids? If I can guarantee that it would mean there wasn't a crowd of 16 year olds at the bar when I wanted a pint, I'd happily never look at a ciggy again :)

EDIT: Well, I say happily - I'd probably still grumble about the good old days when you could smoke anywhere you wanted ;)

I'm assuming that's generic, seeing as not a single cigarette has ever passed these lips :)

It's niccotine withdrawal or even the threat of withdrawal that is the problem, as it is one of the most instantly addictive substances known.

Have you been smoking through your nose again Russ?

Ahh sh'up iw.

Actually I can imagine the replies had I gone with my initial choice of wording which subtituted 'cigarette' for 'fag' :spin:

It's difficult to talk about smoking without at least one Bill Hicks quote:

"Obnoxious , self-righteous, whining little ****s. My biggest fear is that if I quit smoking, I'll become one of you...Don't take that wrong. I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don't know, and I feel it's my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?.......Non-smokers die every day...Enjoy your evening. See, I know that you entertain this eternal life fantasy because you've chosen not to smoke, but let me be the 1st to POP that bubble and bring you hurtling back to reality....You're dead too." ;)

Most people seem to have managed it on here.....

Re: smoking and the pub
 

I didn't because I wasn't aware of his 'work'. I am now though! :rofl: Brilliant. That's one to be memorised. :tu:

Re: smoking and the pub
 

It's percieved attitudes like that of Hicks (I want so I'll have) which builds up resentment - in any case yes I know non-smokers die every day but if someone around me is engaging in some activity which encourages it then.....I'm likely to feel slightly different then :angel:

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Hey! It's not fair you've got the late, great Bill Hicks on your side. Mind you. you've got Leary too ;)
