Smoking at entrances

[Malky]

i dont see the problem with folk smoking but its folk that nag the smokers for smoking that gets on my nervs always saying smokings bad it can damage your lungs dont you think the smokers know that plus if they want to smoke nobody can stop them its up to them .

Personally, I don't care if smokers want to smoke and kill themselves either, but what gets on my nerves is smokers holding their cigarette at arms length so the smoke gets in my eyes/lungs or blowing their smoke in my direction - WTF !!.

Well as I have said to people over the years who object to smoking but drive cars -
I'll light a cigarette while you go and start your car up and then inhale the fumes coming from your exhaust and see who lasts the longest

As far as I know the motor vehicle's main function is personal transportation whereas the cigarettes main function is personal pleasure through inhalation of burning tobacco.

Before carrying out your little experiment it is only fair that you allow the recipient of your verbal guffoonery to challenge you to a 10 mile race, you on your cigarette and him/her in their vehicle, if you win then they should inhale their exhaust fumes while if they win then you should inhale their arse gas ya gonk.

I think UP THE ROADS point is, they go smoke a fag, you run a pipe from your exhaust into your car with you sitting in it, and see who lasts longest.

Fine you can go for your 10 mile drive, but i think you'll have poped your cogs by the time you get there while the smoker will be puffing and panting but still be alive.

That was my first post and there was no need to be so rude. I thought that my friends were only joking when they said that they had stopped using this website because they were not allowed to express an opinion without being insulted-obviously my posting hit a raw nerve- and by the way I am a very healthy individual who walks or uses public transport whenever I can. I live in Edinburgh and have noticed even with the restrictions on parking etc. by the Council that over the years the amount of cars on the road have multiplied--hence the black dust that comes in whenever my house windows are left open-exhaust fumes are lethal but no one including the Government wants to talk about the health implications of that.
Thank you to smokynuk who stuck up for me--very interesting and quality posts by this person which seems to be a rare thing.

forgive me my error, i knew it was a canal and it wisna the caledonian or the crinan, thats a different song

Oh! the crinan canal for me
i don't like the wide raging sea
the big foaming breakers
they give me the shakers
the crinan canal for me

Oh! The Crinan Canal for me,
I don't like the wild raging sea,
It would be too terrific to cross the Pacific,
Or sail to Japan or Fiji.
A life on the Spanish Main,
I think would drive me insane,
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
The Crinan Canal for me.

Chorus:

Oh! The Crinan Canal for me,
I don't like the wild raging sea,
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
The Crinan Canal for me.

It's the Crinan Canal for me,
From sea terrors there you are free,
There's no shark or whale that would make you turn pale,
Or shiver or shake at the knee.
I would nae like leavin' ma bones,
In a locker beside Davy Jones,
From Ardrishaig to Crinan's the best trip A'hve bin in,
The Crinan Canal for me.

Chorus:

Aye the Crinan Canal for me,
It's neither too big nor too wee,
Oh! It's lovely and calm when you're frying your ham,
Or makin' a nice cup of tea.
You can go for a stroll on its banks,
To loosen your muscle bound shanks,
You can still darn your socks while you're stuck in its locks,
Aye the Crinan Canal for me.

Chorus:

don't know which is best, duncan McCrae or john grieve version

i'm away ootside for a fag, happier now bill?

Eh...obviously!! My point was that inhaling exhaust fumes is not why the car exists, inhaling tobacco fumes is why cigarettes exist so to compare one with the other is not really valid.

Anyhoo, my intention wasn't to put down the original poster but just to point out the difference in a "humorous" way (made me laugh anyway ) but can see on reading it again that it could be misconstrued.

Certainly hope"Up the Road" hasn't been put off posting and if have offended then I apologise, Ya gonks

Actually the comparison is valid as they were compared due to the fact they both pollute the air, regardless of reason of their existence

Cigarette smokers choose to put a cigarette to their lips and inhale whatever fumes exist, no-one chooses to put their lips to a car exhaust and inhale unless their suicidal.

You would be as well comparing smoking to testing for landmines by tap dancing through a field of them, one may, possibily lead to your death eventually while the other will lead to your death in minutes, as would inhaling exhaust fumes.

I broke my ankle tap dancing ....... i fell in the sink.

and heres me thinking he was late for his tea of mealy puddin or is that missed corn stew? but i think the mcfadden analogy was spot on, oh dear, noo abbey will be telling us he has analogy, hayfever or something, or maybe he's lactos intolerant and disna laik folk withoot the correct amount of digits on their feet!!!!

me i don't do dairy, i just come on here and write inane drivel instead of putting it in a wee book everyday

on the topic, was watching the anti smoking show on CBBC, worked out that in my lifetime i'll spend £150,000 on fags, i could be smoking cigars with that sort of money, that means theres members on here that will spend £500,000 on drink in their lifetime, i'm not expecting any of them to stop or even complain, so in effect i'm really saving £350,000 by smoking, you see, every cloud has a silver lining and when i find that cloud, i'll be minted, or is that mentholed?
