So that'd be a no then!

Pubs are a hive for Drinkers, not smokers, it just so happens that for those with adictive personalities the two habits are hard to sepperate.

So what are you saying? You become addicted to smoking then you're suddenly an alcoholic, because you and I both know that's complete sh*t.

Personally I have never complained about a smoker smoking in a pub, with the exception of one person smoking a cigar in the non-smoking resturant part of the pub.

So why are you complaining on here when there's no-one breathing smoke in your face?

Also in my experience we non-smokers complain about smoking no more than smokers do when stuck on a non-smoking flight, bus, pub, resurant, shop, etc.

I've never heard anyone complain on a bus, in a shop, and only a retarded smoker would complain if they forced themself to go to a non smoking pub. Flights are a different matter, smokers moan then because of nicotine withdrawal on long flights .. as opposed to some non-smokers who just moan because they've nothing better to think about.

I find it fascinating watching someone with yellow hands

I don't (neither does my partner) have yellow hands (or fingers), we've been smoking approx 20 years a peice too, but then I don't smoke roll ups like an old man ...

a reduced sense of smell & taste

I can't say it's had any detrimental effect that I've noticed.

and hair that smells moderatly like the aftermath of a forrest fire

Some of us are capable of washing our hair on a daily basis.

poisoning themselves and those in proximity

A bit like car drivers then.

denying the effects that this habbit is having on them yet they cant see the addiction, wich is an effect in itself.

I enjoy smoking and I know there are possible long term effects

BTW im getting out of this thread before I get too deep into it, Im not going to get myself worked up like I did in the last anti-smoking thread.

I'm wondering what the point of you posting in this thread was if you're going to post your argument and run, should I add a "lack of balls" to the moaning anti-smoker brigades flaws?

And I also noticed that it looks like im picking on Bifta, its nothing personal mate but you summed up the points I wanted to counter the best.

You'll have to try a hell of a lot harder before I feel victimised.
