Smoking at entrances

Forum publicising and discussing local issues and news in general.

That's because ' a smokers lifetime' would be alot shorter than a drinkers!!!!!! I certainly don't drink the same amount in pounds as a smoker does. What my sister spends on fags in a month is more than my mortgage payment! Anyway, a drinker doesn't pour drink down anyone else's throat unwillingly. We non smokers sometimes don't have any choice but to inhale smokers fumes. It's all about choices.

What a drinker can do though EileenH is get drunk,get behind the wheel of a car and career into the path of some poor innocent and kill them.

give me a break, you have always had a choice, thats what your mouth and feet are for, asking them not to smoke with one, walking out with the other, don't know why you chose to defend this ficticious drinker, it was made up, unless you know someone who spends £100 a week on drink? i don't and if i did, i think my smoking does less damage to me than that amount of drink does to them.

i know a lotof people can't get this into their heads but if you are going ot get cancer, your going to get cancer, wether you smoke or not, you can't attribute every single cancer death of non smokers to passive smoking, sh!t happens, people get cancer, most will be non smokers, their cancer having no connection to smoking, but smokers are the easy target, i'd much rather sitin a room with a smoker than sit in a car with a drunk. and IF and its a big big if, if in years to come i happened to get a smoking related illness, i'd still have had the intervening years i had lived, in a car, with a drunk at the wheel? theres a higher chance of me not seeing tomorrow.

as for your sister? tell her, talk her into quiting, it will do her good, yes it might even extend her lifespan, but in my experience, reformed ex smokers are bores, they've lost something of their character thru the regimine required to keep off the smokes, i'd luv to join them but i'd hate to become as boring as them

Still cant figure out why anyone would want to put their lips round an exhaust pipe... Surely you would burn your mouth, that would be silly...

With all your boring posts I thought you had stopped smoking 20 years ago. Just light hearted banter you understand :roll:

For those who don't know me I'm SPANGLES, five fruity flavours and all deliciously wrapped in wax paper to keep the flavour in.

Think we went off the subject a wee bit again. I might like a few drinks on a Saturday night but I have NEVER had even one drink and got behind the wheel of my car. This isn't about drunk drivers, it's about smoking at entrances. General, my sister will never give up smoking, she enjoys it, like you. I would never ask her to give up - or you. I never asked my dad to give up either. It was up to him to make that decision. All I'm saying is that I enjoy going out and when I go home my hair and clothes don't stink of someone elses smoke. What's wrong with that? Have you ever spoke to someone who says they miss stinking of smoke?

BTW a carton of Marlboro is about 15 quid here, some cartons are only 10...

In my office there's a screened in portch at the back where all the smokers go. It stops the rest of us from using it....it reeks!!!!
