No you are not a troll because you disagree, it's the hair splitting, nit picking contrary default position you always take. You rarely put a sincere reply to anything and your default position is contrary regardless. You forget we can search history and you hold contradictory views on most things and espouse the most annoying/contary one in every post. You have earned the title through many posts not merely this one.
From where I sit, I'm totally consistent and it's you who disagree with everything. I'm happy that smoking has been banned in restaurants and pubs etc because it's dangerous. But on streets there are much worse emission problems.

By all means spend a week or two going through my previous posts to see if I've ever said anything different, but you'll be wasting your time.

I'm talking generally as you well know and again you demonstrate what I'm talking about by deliberately warping that.
Much as I would like to see this happen TTT, I'm afraid it just wouldn't work.

If we could introduce a voluntary ban, perhaps some considerate smokers might think twice. I'm not sure but I think its worth a try.

By the way TTT....there are certainly Trolls here on AB but jno isn't one of them !
I'd like to see it extended to bus stops/shelters.
It already is, Haggis
// Then we can outlaw farting and fishing. //

I'm all for that. As Lennon and McCartney once said . 'Life is very short, and there's no tii-i-i-ime for fishing and farting my friend'
It's quite obvious that some folk would like all the money spent on the NHS, and all the resources of the police, to be diverted to seeking out and punishing secret smokers. Never mind the factories and power stations and vehicles belching out pollutants.
The health nazis won't be happy until it's banned altogether. They should just get on and do that, and stop pussyfooting around.
Smoking should be confined to ones own home. Poison and stink yourself out but dont inflict it on others.
No, for the very simple reason that it is an absurd suggestion.

Open air smoking does not risk anybody's health, other than the smoker.

The smell argument is pretty weak - I genuinely cannot recall the last time I smelt smoke from somebody smoking in public.

It is a ridiculous, virtually unenforceable, nannying gone made suggestion.
Are you a non smoker, Deskdiary?


Whilst I disagree with jno on this thread, I find your posts out of order TTT.
mikey4444 . A voluntary ban!!
If it is voluntary it is not a ban , 'voluntary' and 'ban' are mutually exclusive!

I've never smoked.

I just find banning things that do not affect anybody else to be pathetic because I am fundamentally against nannying by the state. And this is nannying gone mad.

It is a breathtakingly absurd suggestion.

No
I would be in favour of such a ban as it would allow the police to do something about the groups of of youngsters you see hanging about smoking. The key is to stop people from starting smoking in the 1st place, arresting and confiscating the cigs of these kids would go a long way to stopping them from ever starting in the 1st place .
Once no more people are starting smoking the habit will die out within 20 years or so once all the current smokers are dead !
have not read the responses ..but yes ..I have to run the gauntlet of smoke and debris ..it is disgustng
The debris issue should be dealt with by the current laws on littering and fines applied as necessary.

Ban smoking outdoors - no.
I am a smoker.

Watching an episode of Location, Location, Location the other day, one prospective buyer said she would Never buy the house of a smoker!!! Kirstie Whatshername then piped up and said that once she had bought a house that had belonged to a smoker and Had to replace all the plaster in the house!!!!!

Shock, Horror, Outrage!

I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life before.

Anyway, I digress. The 'outside air" is free.
Not a fan of you TTT, BUT I love your post at 11:13 !!
