Till our pubs are clear of the smelly smokers, I can't wait, of course there'll still be some jam tarting but that's minor in comparison to the foul odour of your weed addicts. Are you looking forward or dreading? Smokers, how will you cope? Will you give up or puff on defiantly? Non smokers will you go outside with your sad addict friends or just wait inside while they have a fix?

It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics."

Smoking can be good for you!
Posted by: fingers on Radar talkback blog, Sydney Morning Herald

Not only does it feel good, Garry... smoking can in fact be good for you.
At university we conducted a simple experiment.
We took 20 live worms and divided them into two groups of 10.
We then placed one group into a glass of pure drinking water and one group into a glass of water through which we filtered the smoke from a packet of B&H Extra Milds.
The worms in the drinking water lived for 7 days, but the worms in the smokey water died an agonising death in less than 30 minutes, proving that if you smoke, you won't get worms...

Im an ex smoker but still think people should have the right to enjoy a ciggie with a beer when they want to! Im glad i gave up cause its the best time to have a fag to be honest.
I have'nt smoked for 21 years and I've never missed it. Saying that, I do think ex smokers are the worst at complaining but only because we can feel the difference in our health. Our clothes don't smell and no stinky ashtrays. My old mans rolls his own but never smokes indoors and also not as many. I do think smokers everywhere should be given a smoking room as they used to do years ago as long as the doors are kept closed they can smoke to their hearts content.
I answered the jam tarting question at post No 8 on this thread - or did people think that I had just forgotten to say pardon?

Maybe we should all describe what else we are doing while we are posting?
i am still fighting the fags about 8 a day instead of 35/40
can not stand the smell on me anymore or in my house.
i was a newsagent right until last year. Out of a paquet of cigarette i think that 4 pences uses to go in my till.
the governement has amassed a lot of revenue with our fags !
Over countries copes very well with their ban and we will.
Ive regret the moment i have started smoking what a ****.
It is like taking a 5 pound note,roll it,burn it.
25 billion, thats a non smokers figure. Ha ha ha!

I do hope you get as sanctamonious about the indirect cost of alcohol and the millions of saddos that go out and get their fix of a weekend.

So goodsoullette you agree with the figure as you are changing the subject rather than offerring alternatives. Oddly enough I don't drink either.
Not in the slightest. I couldnt estimate a figure, I know 3% of housefires are caused by smoking but then I dont actually know how many that is a year. They have magiced up 23 billion of costs asides from health care and that is ludicrous.

Drinking is by far the greater evil, I wonder how much one month of alcohol related incidents costs the country, in comparison to cigarettes, or even pot, or ecstasy or even heroin (if we could take away the costs related to it being illegal). Of course with alcohol I would like to see the costs of doorstaff and the extra policing needed.
