I can make one decompose in the bottom of a urinal with just one well aimed pish.

I say kill all the smokers. They are pretty good targets. Who would the vitriol get flung at next though? this is an important question, needing a public inquiry. After all, we can't direct our anger at foreigners anymore.
Drinkers? Drivers? Parents? People in short trousers? Limpers? Folk who like sweets? NON GUARDIAN READERS???

Why not. Give Earth's lungs a break too.
'Myth'
Really? They're partly made of fiberglass and last time I checked my 50 year old Eames chairs is still sound.

thing is though, I wonder if all the non smokers have taken into consideration that now they will only be able to look down their noses at smokers on the way into and out of the pub, meaning they'll have to up the ante on disapproving of people who talk too loud, drink more than them, or maybe enjoy the odd Cider. The flatulent, too, will become a new source of ire, believe you me.

yeah, my mate darren said that when they did it in dublin alls you could smell for months was peoples' poots.
- kelpie0
yes! fat people! of which there will be ever more as smoking is made taboo.
Prepare to squeeze your gym honed behinds in between an army of depressed, obese, rancid smelling, bloated bores, health nazis!

Buses are a public service - I'd never agree with that. Some people don't have a choice but to use buses.
Pubs on the other hand, you have 100% choice to either get in, or out.
Simple really.
Or wait...
Perhaps you need your hand held.
Or wait... we could just ban it because you're incompetent of making an informed decision based on your beliefs.

'Folk who like sweets?'I agree though. Not necessarily killing them - just stop the production of clothes for fat people. That way they are forced to either walk the street naked or wear a bed sheet.

they should have smokers quit groups and support sessions in the new casinos....a much quicker transition for the gvrmnt

the issue is with the health of the staff as opposed to the customers. and it is dependant on other health protection legislation...
i don't agree with the ban but I've lived through the transition in two countries, and people have said exactly the same stuff you're saying before in both countries :) the arguments are old.
As far as I could tell in parts of spain the ban was on the discretion of the owner of the premises and the owner simply asks the staff what they want (correct me if i'm wrong) - I was recently in barcelona smoking away in lots of pubs..

Being that I've quit, I'm looking for a new anti social hobby.
Any suggestions?
What hasn't been banned yet?
- paraselene0
chew tobacco and spit it all over the shop. bleurgh.
- paraselene0
or, worse, spit it into a glass jelly jar that you carry around with you at all times and it sloshes about and people can see it sat on your desk! ack!

The ban could've had some concessions.
And staff have always had a choice.
Just like waiters who expect tips - I have no sympathy with their complaints.

That's not a bad idea Para.
