Ossie 11 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 beer, fag, beer, fag... they just don't taste the same without each other.... going outside for a smoke is all well & good, but as soon as you get back in & have another swig of beer, you need another fag! in my local, the landlord smokes, the landlady smokes, most of the bar staff smoke, most of the customers smoke... it's going to be... weird Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WILF Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just back from Ireland and the ban has started over there.........Belfast is a smoke free city as well now........its not to bad to be honest and I love a fag or should I say cigarette The only thing I will say is.......all these things are small chips away at peoples liberty and where does it stop huh? The more we accept, the more they will try to impose.......think about that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They feel as passionate about that as you do about this. Just cause you agree with it does it make you right?? & me who is the least politicle person you'll meet is starting to get very worried.

pat blewitt 41 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Its about time something was done about it and as for taking peoples liberty away, thats bollocks, nobodys stopping you smoking yourself to death and inflicting your second hand smoke on your family, IN YOUR OWN HOME. I just dont see why smokers should be free to poison the general public as and when they feel like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both subjects are important to people.......I aint an anti......and as for the cig ban, I aint give my opinion!!!!!!!Just poising the question...................

Guest baldie Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I gave up the weed 2 years ago this month, and i was an ardent smoker, and supporter of smokers "rights". I now realise what a twat, and selfish b*****d i was, forcing my friends to inhale second hand smoke, in the pub.Its only when you give up, do you realise how badly it stinks, how badly smokers stink, and how sore it makes your throat. Its a filthy disgusting habit, and knowing how much better my own health has been since stopping, i wish the government would ban it completely, and FORCE everyone to stop. I,m no supporter of bans at all, but if the average smoker could see how much better they would feel, health and money wise, only a fool would carry on. Yep, i loved a smoke, no one more, but it kills you early, and i didn,t want my little lad growing up without a daddy. When i see all the kids smoking, and all the fit young birds, it makes me sad.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Most popular weapon of assault in the UK? ... the pint pot. Spend a Friday or Saturday night in A&E and tell me alcohol doesn't cause second hand injuries. Still doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to drink though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All i said is ' I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTROL' oi no one was spouting off to anyone the point is how can someone be right to do something that harms others peoples health and especially the vulnerable i.e children and babies .weve all seen it women with fags hanging out there mouths letting the smoke drift into the kids faces .my dad packed in so my baby sister wouldnt have to breath all that shit in 2 years ago because he knew it was wrong so why should anybody else be allowed to poisen her me or anybody else who doesnt smoke.one thing i would say about the smoking ban is because the only place smokers will be allowed to smoke is there own home more kids will probebly suffer with smoking related illneses.if you ask smokers and ex smokers if they had another chance would they smoke again the answer would be no so does that not answer the question. good hunting rew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
