Going for a smoke ?

[Oldmanofthewoods]

The following lawbreakers need sorting out:

Mahatna Ghandi
Emily Pankhurst
Nelson Mandela
Michael Martin
Oscar Wild
Poll Tax rioters
Friends of the Earth
Greenpeace
The two grads who spread stories that MacDonalds was awful
That 75 year old pensioner who refused to pay the Council tax as her stret was full of junkies

They should have all been shot for breaking laws!

SS (Lovely acroynym) you don't care about:

My local
The people who go in there
Children
Adults
Everybody around you

Quotes
"You want us to grow our own cancers"
"There is nothiong worse than an ex-smoker (as you are one)
"You can't beleive how selfish........."

You think that you are going to rise above "it"?  I think that a little soul searching is required.

Lots of petty laws like this one get broken all the time - it maybe breaking the law to smoke in the pub, but so is drinking in the pub when your 17, for a landlord to serve someone who is drunk, to serve after hours... hopefully this law will be flouted just as much...

I predict a riot.  I shall be fighting in the non smoking corner, seconds out. ;D

[pye]

Oldman, are you seriously comparing having a f*g down the local to the actions of Gandhi, Mandela and Greenpeace? :o >:( >:( >:(

And I thought ex-smokers were self-righteous.

I know, I know - mind my own business, right?  :-X

the non smoking corner,

Now why didn't the govenment think of that.

[greyhound]

With regard to obeying the law.....

Over the course of the last decade, each year has seen an average of 2,685 new laws - the equivalent of almost seven and a half a day or one every three-and-a-quarter hours - said legal information providers Sweet & Maxwell.

...perhaps we have rather too many?

With so many more things having been criminalised, it's a wonder the police have time for catching burglars, vandals, muggers .....

oh, wait ....   ::)

I dont think he is - but going on some of the comments of the non-smoking lot - you'd think smoking in a pub was as bad as being a murderer...


wait for it...

LOL!  No!  We don't!   

I don't think you quite have understood what everyone on the 'non-smoking' side is saying! 

We don't want to stop you from smoking - that's your own choice to do so, but it's not an activity that you can do without affecting someone else. 

If it were possible for you to smoke without actually having the smoke in the air then I'm sure this would never have come about - after all, we all know that the carbon monoxide from car exhausts can kill you and is causing the ozone to thin out, but because we aren't in smog continuously people aren't campaigning to have anything done about it... but that's a topic for another thread!  ::)
That's all.

But as i said about 5 pages ago - if everyone in the pub wants to smoke or does'nt mind people smoking, then why cant we? again as has been said before - if you dont like screaming kids you dont go to a Hungry Horse, if you dont like naked ladies dancing in your face - then you dont go to Spearmint rhino's...

Now no-one said we don't want naked ladies  :o

My cigarette packet has 2 health warnings on it one says "Use only berore, during & after sex" the other says "f**k off. Buy Your own" (without the aterisks).
Neither indicates that smoking makes me as bad as a murderer .

Where was the referendum on this smoking ban?..

[Baccy Man]

Part of living in a democratic country seems to mean you get no say in anything. If there had been a referendum then perhaps the smoking ban would not of come into effect.
There are a few enclosed places which are exempt from the ban such as The Houses of Parliament, prison cells, hospices, care homes and mental health units in which patients are held in secure conditions for more than six months. If you don't happen to be in one of those places & you want to smoke it's tough you have to put up with the ban you didn't & wouldn't of voted for or risk being fined.

Inhale....exhale...inhale...exhale...and calm.... ;D

[Heldi]

alls I want to know is...how come Baccyman manged to get the F word in his post? He da' man !


Emmy you know they can't do that without a coughing fit.

[Oldmanofthewoods]

No, I am not comparing having a smoke to the actions of a few illustrious people.  My point is that SS was banging on a breaking a law, not smiking; breaking a law.  My point was that just because a law is there, it doesn't mean it's right.

The population of Stoke-on-Trent can continue to smoke in public places because the council cocked-up.  I am staggered that every other council managed to get it right.  Has anyone ever heard of a council getting something right?

Via Stoke!

Who say's we can't have naked ladies?  What is a spearmint rhino, a knocking shop?
