Spawn said:As for smokers being selfish??, non smokers can easily be called selfish *******'s as well....it works both ways...honestly i think the ban is a bit draconian but as i said it doesnt really bother me much tbh. I can live with it, its the non smokers of this world that always jump and make a big fuss about it..
They all do, doesn't stop people.Ukadder said:Pubs could take the sensible option and install a wall mounted ash tray outside where people smoke thus reminding people to 1) not litter and 2) not to go inside smokeing.

Tru said:How often do you go up to a smoker and interrogate them about their littering habits? Do you do the same thing with gum chewers or dog walkers?
Tru said:edit: also, cig butt in the pocket? Who ever told you that was clearly winding you up.
SGCWill said:I could say the exact opposite - the only 2 people in my family to have died form cancer where the only people who stopped smoking.

The amount of times I have heard my grandad lived till he was etc. and smoked etc. a day, the fags he smoked had more tar but I dont think they had the levels of chemicals cigs have now.
Its not just a health reason, it stinks everything out, has effect on your taste buds and skin.
Windle said:Wrong actually, not in the UK. Just England etc. We've been smoke free for a year now. Get with the times you sassenachs!
It's great btw, apart from having to walk through a cloud of smoke to enter buildings and seeing ciggy butts lying everwhere.
He was right, in 93 days you wont be allowed to smoke any where in the UK thus 93 days left to smoke in the UK. 93 days to a total ban on smoking in all UK pubs.
Tru said:I seem to recall you being particularly obnoxious towards smokers in all of these threads? Did your mum smoke when she was pregnant and you blame it for you turning out a whiny weakling?
I'm not citing anything. You suggested you ask smokers about fag butts, I wanted to know if your crusade was against litter in general or just smokers. But it turns out you don't actually ask smokers about fag butts at all.HEADRAT said:I don't have to interrogate anybody the bloody things are everywhere.
To be honest there is very little dog poo on the streets anymore, certainly where I live anyway.
Again another smokers "trick" is always to site somebody else is doing "x or y", your adults take some responsibilty, it's like listening to my five year old "but daddy he did"!
I ping them into old ladies hats.HEADRAT said:So what do you do with yours?

It is basically banned in all indoor public areas, this includes train stations, bus shelters, public buildings and work places.Rob200sx said:I'd personally rather see a ban on all train station platforms, I'm fed up with people smoking right by the doors (so it wafts into the carriage) or blowing the smoke behind them (and therefore into my face), walking along the platform fag in hand, not smoking it but letting the smoke drift all over the place (why light it if you're not going to smoke it?) or those who have a fag in the mouth and then light up literally as they step onto the platform, thus letting everyone behind them also getting off the train receive a refreshing cloud of smoke.
Will be when your smoking ban comes in. You can't smoke in any indoor train station in Scotland now. Edinburgh Waverly, Haymarket, Glasgow Central etcRob200sx said:"IS" or will be in 93 days?
