momoyama, please come back when you talk sense as what you have posted in response is utter !!!!!!!!. you know exactly what we all mean and you hide behind the 'im trying to have a logical debate' line. no youre not, you are almost running a one person hate gauntlet towards to smoker.
we makes our own choices in this life and if smoking is one of them so be it. until i come round your gaf and light up you have no right to moan if i smoke.There's someone in my head, but it's not me0 -
I smoke and i try not to inflict it upon anyone else.
1. I smoke in the garden and not in my house
2. I never smoke in the car
3. I always use non smoking rooms in hotels
4. I stand away from people in the beer garden so they dont not have to breath my smoke.
What i wont do:
1. Keep moving if non smokers choose to stand near me
2. Will not apologise for my habit
3. If i get ill then i do. I pay over £1k per month in income tax. That'll cover it comfortably..
Not getting at you personally, but smokers generally - but then don't come walking toward me.I can also GUARANTEE that if i was outside the pub smoking, and a non smoker huff/puffed, complained i would, depending on the situation (or sex of the complainant:
a). Tell them in no uncertain terms to Foxtrot Oscar
or
b). Give them a smack round the head for having nothing better to do and inform them to mind their own effing business.On the other hand, if i want to smoke in the street, i will, and no-one wil stop that, no matter how dizzy they get on their moral high ground.
- Change in the law
- Successfully suing
- Or one of us self-righteous people will snap and you'll find yourself incapable of smoking. People have died through being beaten over complaining about smoking. It stands to reason that the opposite could occur.
Personally I'm off down the pub' with my shotgun to fire randomly around the streets. Because I want to. F*** anyone else that happens to be around, they shouldn't be there.0 -

No it's not. Many things IN MODERATION (alcohol as a prime example) is very good for you. Alcohol in excess is a killer. Cigarettes in no quantity whatsoever are good for. There is no moderation.0 -
Ugh.
If someone smokes but is considerate to others, no need to have a go at them and insult them for it. It just makes you look like a bit of a tit.
Smokers who dont, or say they dont, care about the people around them, you are !!!!!!. Consider others please.
Smokers who are considerate, who ask before lighting up when in company, who don't smoke at bus stops, I salute you and say you are cool in my book. Until I learn otherwise obviously. :P
There we go. Someone on my wavelength.0 -

Maybe you arn't capable of following logical because of your dogged determination to exercise your right at the expense of others?Anthillmob wrote: »we makes our own choices in this life and if smoking is one of them so be it. until i come round your gaf and light up you have no right to moan if i smoke.0 -
