Aye but you'll still fucking stink... and............... ....ignore them love. Just carry this little story in your head.. The rats they overexposed to tobacco smoke for addictive patterning/nervous behaviour etc, they later used by mistake in a test to determine toxicity and dosage with regard to micrograms of differnt types of radioactive material. When they traced back the mistake they found nearly all the smoker rats lived longer (some never died) than the non-smoker rats with regard to radioactive particulates in the airstream being pumped through their cages.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Whilst I am not going to get dragged into some big fuck off debate that ends up involving miners and bar staff from a personal point of view the smoking ban is a godsend for me. My partner suffers from really bad asthma as well as other breathing problems and many a night we have had to call it a night after one drink as the smoke triggers her off and many meals have been ruined. Whilst its been a place for a while now up here its great to know now that when we come down to Newcastle and other places south of the border we can actually go out without an evening/weekend being ruined.

You get to live through a nuclear winter, THEN die of lung cancer? Sounds like fun. Edited July 1, 2007 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Last night proved to me why its a good thing, we were sitting in the Casino having a meal and the bloke at the table behind decided to spark up, thats ok then it was his right to, however the fact he held his tab away from his face and behind him when he wasnt dragging on it meant we got it floating through our space while eating. Inconsiderate twat wont be so happy next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsiderate twat wont be so happy next week. It's rude to smoke near people who are eating end of. Even as a smoker if soemone does that while I'm eating with people I give them a piece of my mind (as long as they're not too big and scary).

Bazooka_From_Viduka 0 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 it's also quite funny to think that, given the wide variety of attitudes to rules and risk in the various countries that have now banned smoking indoors, isn't it wierd how not a single one accepted better ventilation as a viable solution?

Smoking is kinda the new houlier than thou-ism to be honest, much like the current eco-trends (despite many of them being either a con or in some cases counter productive. People like to have something easy and righteous to hate. Even if at most only 600 people per year in the UK die from secondary smoke related issues (far less than the 2500 that die from radon for example), they'd save a lot more non-smoking lives by banning motorbikes (although again secondary smoke is the scare not the reason).

We've been through that (several times now), I guess you've forgotten. just some waffle about eco-trends and motorbikes? Motorbikes kill a LOT more people than secondary smoke (in fact most things do). And the eco-trends bit is just relevant to peoples like to hate.
