Is it bad that I can't imagine having a pub lunch without inhaling smoke with every mouthful? fukin ell I can't wait

It'll be nice to be able to get back from a night out and not absolutely reek of other people's fags.

I can't wait for the UK ban

same.

don't get me wrong, i like tobacco - but having seen how effective it's been in ireland, i think a ban's a great idea.

Did it get rid of the Irish?

Probably not effective enough.

irish? i was in dublin. couldn't move for bloody kiwis.

the less that people smoke, the better.

innit

Yeah, this kind of stuff comes into effect next year, in this neck of the woods (melbourne, australia). it's gunna suck

I was smoking in preschool. I was the coolest 6 year old ever.

"(The ban) won't stop people from smoking - the people, who remain smoking are those who choose to ignore the medical advice and make that personal choice."

I don't see the problem with that statement?

i think its great - smoking is sicky and spoils your food in resterruants (spelt wrong) with no non smoking areas

i got it !, i was thinking how i could get round this and heres my idea

i shall make a new type of fag and the purpose for this fag will be called 'inhaling' and not 'smoking'

fucking king !

even the slogan : stop smoking, start inhaling

My chainsaw is legal, but they don`t want me in bars/clubs with it. Only pubs. Go figure...

nah, i didnt

it should be the owners decision wether the bar should be able to smoke or not, having someone dictate what a premisis can and cant do is bullshit

Except that it's historically true that non-smokers put up with smokers habits in public places, mainly becuase it's just the way things are.

Businesses are out to maximise profit, and few are willing to exclude smokers becuase this will mean losing their business.

You're just reaching for an argument because you're addicted and don't like the idea of having to abstain while socialising. Why even bother to make lame arguments?

i don't. but i did. who the fuck knows why people start. when i was kid cigs were pretty much pushed in our faces and it was legal for kids to buy them.

things are different nowadays.

*Damaging to those around you.

Yeah, it's just 'cus you like to'. I sound like an anti-smoking campaign, which is a shame. But it's so fucking simple you can put it in a few bullet points, and it's airtight.
