Rants and Raves about smoking

[Ron T. Storm]

Hello,

I smoke,

But not a lot.

Let me tell you agree with the smoking ban. Now I do understand smoking is bad but how many of you smoke and has the smoking ban cut your down.

And the non-smokers tell us just how nice it is not to go home stinking of smelly stale smoke.

Smokers - how has it effected you?

"Hello,

I thought that was maybe going to be another of your odes.

hahahahaha, thank you Warren,

Soory about the poetry - was pissed when posted.

On a serious note I do agree even as a smoker to the ban. It is good. But what will be banned next?

[fudgeflaps]

I think there will be limits upon the quantity of alcohol we can drink in the future.

Sure- we have our own physical limits- that's not what I mean.

However, with the streets of Britain being pretty frisky on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night post-nightclub and with all other associated alcohol related violence/problems.......... it's only a matter of time before drinking quantites that typically induce such behaviours is outlawed, IMHO.

It's great not having to smell like an ashtray on your way home.

However my girlfriend says you can smell sweat more now. Especially the fat guys in summer. I think smelly people will be banned next!

So fat guys need to wash and stop smoking!! Simple.. I did. Lost 3 stone and smell most excellent.

Smoking in your own home, there was a discussion recently on another Forum site, who started up yapping about the possibilities of the Government Banning people smoking in their own homes, a heafty fine imposted if found guilty.

As some of the people on the forum were smokers, & some weren't, it was a highly topical debate going on for ages, but it seems that it's just gossip, no1 could substanciate the claim, however, there is speculation that this is the sort of shit the government might try to pull though, given enough leeway.

[Snake Diamond]

LOL, good for you.

As in the last post I just made (about possible banning of smoking in your own home), there also was a suggestion on 2 other sites this last week, that the government is considering Fat Tax.

No1 could agree if it was in relation to the amount of Junk-Food type fatty crap in certain junk/fast-food/burger-bar type foods, or a tax directly to the people of this country, who are of the Fat/Over-weight/Clinically Obese body sizes.
