Re: smoking and the pub
 

You can't compare the numbers of deaths caused by vehicle emmissions to the number of bar staff deaths caused by passive smoking, now come on...

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Clarie,is it true that you want to enter a place where smoking is allowed and you'd like the people who smoke to be somewhere different?

Yes or no!

Re: smoking and the pub
 

lippy, what I want is for smoking to be banned in all enclosed public places, and for the pubs and restaurants where there are a lot of smoking customers, a sealed room or an outhouse to be provided.

1. It's not about liking/disliking smoking, it's about health and protecting staff as they are in other work environments
2. Job choice might not be there, idiot or not (though idiots probably have less job choice)
3. I'm bored

Re: smoking and the pub
 

A cleverly edited statistic which, of course, factors *in* all deaths from emissions, yet factors *out* all deaths from passive smoke except bar staff.

(Although, in fact, the original article does not say vehicle emissions, it says air pollution, most of which is from vehicles ;) )

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Was that a yes or no to my question?

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Reike's better for you ;)

Re: smoking and the pub
 

I didn't I'm using the figures and argument that George Monbiot uses here
Comes down to priorities for me.

Re: smoking and the pub
 

You're not making sense now...

And nor is that a reasonable thing to suggest.

Re: smoking and the pub
 

Now who's being pedantic ;)

Good point about masturbation though :)

Re: smoking and the pub
 

I bet that makes you sore in the morning ;)

Re: smoking and the pub
 

These figures don't even consider the non-smokers who aren't working in the pubs.

Furthermore as we have said so many times, the ban on smoking in public places doesn't mean we cannot address the car fumes problem as well.
