I really just don't see why so many people smoke at all
I've just given up. I think nicotine is one of the most powerful drugs on this earth and by far one of the most addictive. I've taken my fair share of class A drugs but none are quite as addictive as nicotine. I think the real problem is that not only is nicotine **really** addictive, but it's also available on every corner shop, pub, restaurant, off license, supermarket etc in the country (and overseas). And so it's very easy for such an addictive drug to be overused. I think if some illegal drugs were sold on every street corner in the land there would be some problems with those drugs too.
But going back to your original post, people in the pub generally just sit there drinking and spouting bullshit. drinking and smoking are about the most excerise anyone is going to do in there whilst they're sitting down (or even standing up) in there. That's not really my bag, i gave up drinking (heavily, anyway) quite a few years ago. And yes it is disgusting going to the pub for non smokers since nowadays the insides of most pubs look like the inside of smokers lungs, smelly with a horrible yellow stain on the wall.
I'm getting used to the idea of what they do in Italy - hang out in Piazza's, not so much drinking but just hanging out. being drunk in Italy is frowned upon, which i really like In the UK there aren't many places where you can do that - every public space seems to have been bought up by some company or turned into another pub. I think as a country we could do with more public spaces where it's possible to just go and hang out, ok it's not as warm as Italy but I am finding that in the UK to do anything at night short of freezing your nuts off in the local park you have to pay money or sit in one of those horrible smoke filled pubs.
OOOpps did i go off topic a little bit? Anyway there are some thoughts.ah wah wah wah a wah wah

I also agree that smokers should respect the non-smokers view and if they are uncomfortable around smoke then the smoker should move away. I think that all people should be considerate of other people's views.

sorry to be childish but I only see that from a non smoker when they cough near me smoking.. (those guys should see a doctor with a chest that weak)
Written by: Mynci

I'm more than happy to move to avoid grief. I'm a smoker not an arrogant tw@t... well not ALL the time. grrrrr. bad day, I need a cigarette

Just to put things in perspective I am getting ready to quit smoking by cutting down dramaticly. I only smoke nonadditive cigs. Like American Spirit or Winston. I have quit for over a year before then started again after the majority of stuff has cleared out. Also I like dropping my addiction to a min.

In California where you can't smoke in any public buildings I have seen 80% of a bar hanging outside to catch a smoke. That is stupid. If the majority of the people are smokers then you suold let them smoke inside.

And the Dr from my other post did go on and on about how statistics can not be trusted. The main thrust of his argument is that major medical journals have possable evidence that tobacco could have medicinal effects. He thinks more research should be done to find out what if any medicinal aplications are there.

.....When I see the majority of customers leaving to smoke then there is something wrong. ..................But what it really comes down to for me is smokers have become ostracised from places that they are the majority. That is stupid. There is a reason most bars were smoking, cuz most of the people who went to them smoked.

One question...isn't the biggest killer in the UK STILL heart disease?
Read somewhere on here they were thinking of taking the NHS away from smokers. Does that mean they'll take the NHS away from people who eat nothing but fatty foods and get no exercise? Have the government implemented 70% tax on fatty and unhealthy foods? or tax relief on gym membership? Pretty sure they haven't.
Oh and how about not treating drunk drivers after a crash? or P1ss-heads after a drunken brawl, seems a bit picky to me.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

American bars though are what I have been talking about so maybe it is a difference of cultures that is keeping us from agreeing?

Very true... so do I have the right to walk through a town centre without being abused by drunk people? people without an 'addiction' but more likely to cause accute medical problems like broken noses or cuts compared to the chronic condition of second hand smoke.
Written by: mynci
If you don't want second hand smoke, don't use public transport (diesel fumes are worse for you than cigarette smoke and public transport is no smoking.)
Written by: mynci
And if you don't want to go to a smokey atmosphere that is your choice.... why should non-smokers get all the pubs... where a large percentage of patrons are smokers.
There are non-smoking pubs in this country why not visit one of them?
Written by: mynci
Smoking is socially acceptable (I have made good friends from people asking for a lighter or a cigarette) it is a way to meet and socially interact with people. just because a percentage of the population does not partake does not make a thing socially unacceptable.
Written by: mynci
Driving a car causes toxic fumes to be produced, uses fossil fuels, and causes 1000's of deaths each year... is it socially un-acceptable? would our country work without transport?

I think mynci, that you are misguided, but sincere. You come across as being quite young, and I suspect that you have yet to realise the extent of the misery that smoking causes.
