It is understood Brighton is one of the first beaches in the country to be considering a ban
and if successful the rest of the beaches could follow
at this rate we'll only be allowed to smoke at home.
[MENTION=13416639]TonyN[/MENTION], we're the enemy and there's fuck all we can do about it except keep smoking and give them the response they deserve giving-the-finger-smiley-emoticon.gif
I must admit, I do prefer smoking indoors unless it's an extremely still day outside and there's no wind around, as I seem to get more value and enjoyment from the cigar I'm smoking
I'm not sure I can imagine a situation so dire that I would need to smoke a cigar on a beach - but the point still stands I suppose. The writing's been on the wall for such puritanical decisions since smoking was banned in Central Park. (It's just as well the stopped filming Friends, Jennifer Aniston is still smoking... Sorry, getting side-tracked there).
It really is a terrible shame that the fun-police are now acting without reason other than because they don't agree with something. I can grin and bear not being able to smoke in a pub, because at least they used some scientific evidence - even if it was a little suspect in some respects. But the fact that they are keen to ban something with no argument about public health... It would be thought policing and little more.
I feel as a minority group we should adapt the attitude of our French relatives and say bollocks to them and stand up for our own civil rights and liberties , after all I thought we one the war and have freedom of speech and freedom of our actions .
