Smoking Ban

[big bopper]

It's become a real bugbear of mine this summer especially. I enjoy a cigar most of the year round outdoors - I don't see anyone in the beer gardens on a chilly November. Then they tip out into them for 8 weeks a year and suddenly I'm supposed to give way to their whims?

F**k off!!

Next you'll be banned from smoking in your own garden because the second hand smoke affects your neighbours. Wonder if they'll ban BBQs next? Surely they're a bigger polluter of personal airspace or is the acrid smoke from burning meat not as bad for you?

You obviously missed the news item from the States where a civil enforcement officer tried to stop a barbecue because the smoke was crossing the property boundary. The result wasn't included.

Smoking Ban

Here's some interesting information I've just read:-

Research by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) also suggests there are "alarming" levels of misinformation surrounding tobacco ? as 90% of people believe nicotine alone is harmful to health when this is not the case.

In actuality, it is the toxins used to make cigarettes ? such as tar and arsenic ? which are dangerous, and nicotine itself is no more dangerous than the caffeine in a cup of coffee.

I've enjoyed quite a few smokes in parks in what little summer we've had, a few free concerts and the like. While always conscious of those around me who may not like the smell it'll be a real shame if they ban smoking in these places.

Well guess what I heard on the radio.


The public smoking ban should be extended to beer gardens, al fresco eating areas of restaurants, parks, and outside school gates, a report says.

And the area outside pubs apparently

Wait and see it's only a matter of time, no smoking in pub gardens.
No smoking outside costa's.

Nice comment from Sandra Platell in the Mail today. Commenting on the proposed smoking ban she said that the last time she went to Brighton there was so many roly polys on the beach that they'd be better off banning ice cream and burger vans.

Would agree with you there what your saying
for some the holiday starts as soon as they reach the bar.

Could be looking at another ban.

There's always some 'bad apples' that have to ruin it for everyone else ain't there?

Funny there are parts of Brighton beach you can expose everything, I suppose there worried about burning delicate parts.

Why? They don't want us to smoke.

Exactly, so invest in a personal 'Man-Cave' and the problem is solved - Simples![emoji2]
