I wish you could sue smokers!

To be fair, you really are not in a position to know for sure, you only THINK you know, based merely on your own perception, not theirs.
It's nothing to do with my perception. "Enjoying" smoking is actually the meeting of a chemical desire (addiction). You satisfy the addiction, you believe you are enjoying it. This is part of why I won't start smoking; I won't be slave to a chemical0 -
The majority are neither thoughtless, careless, abusive, ignorant, stubborn, non caring or inconsiderate. There may be a small minority, but no different to the small minority of Drinkers, Drivers or non smokers.
In my experience, the majority of smokers are thoughtless, careless, abusive and inconsiderate. That's my whole issue. Your point is well made and I can only try to make a leap that the addiction overules the individual's normal behaviour. It certainly is ironic that people who's profession involves saving lives engage in a life-shortening activity, and so on.0 -

I'm a smoker.However, I don't think it's smokers that are the problem - it's just inconsiderate people...0

You and your son can go anywhere you please, if a smoker lights up next to your son, then move, simple.
Why should the parent and son move? You're the smoker, YOU don't go there in the first place. Basic common sense and basic thought for others.
Your argument is akin to me randomly firing my shotgun in public without regard for other people and then blaming those I shoot for being in the way!0 -
No. No, no, no and a thousand times more NO.
Calm down missus, its only a thread,
I asked in one post if you were on something. If not, then you maybe need to be,
Or have a very calming Benson & Hedges:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Been off this thread for a while but would like to add that I know some people who earn double the money we do but at the same time complain how they cant afford x, y and z HOWEVER, one of them smokes quite heavily maybe a packet a day so I have been told so doing the math would that be around £200 a month? If anyone is facing hardship and you really don't have money for anything why continue smoking? It breaks the bank and quite simply stuffs up your health. What is so great about it? It stinks, it looks vile and I don't even know how you get rid of the odours that come from it?
The NHS offer a giving up smoking service whilst it isn't for everybody it's a way and means to improve yourself and your life... which we only have one of!:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

We whinge because most smokers stand right at the entrance or on the left or right. Non smokers find the stench that comes from it very overpowering... I have had headaches in the past from the smell.... Perhaps standing well away from entrances and exits would make it so much better!
I cant say I go home stinking of cigarettes, mainly because I dont linger where smokers designated areas are, like entrances and exits, those places where the building owner says "Smoke there".
I've said it before, if you have a problem with a smokers designated area, take it up with the owner NOT the smoker.
Whilst smoking remains a legal choice, smokers will smoke where they can, not where they want.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A
