To wish cafes would have a designated smoking area...

..which is completely separate from non smoking areas so I would be able to sit outside and enjoy the 'fresh' air without smoking the equivalent of 20 fucking fags!

Because you're irritating and whiney and we don't want to hear you.

Then fuck off back into a dark smokey hole where you belong and stop vomiting your poisons around other peoples and their children.

IT's about time we just got on with it and made smoking illegal. It's a filthy killing habit that hasn't got a single redeeming feature, done by selfish twats who are anti-social smelly bastards.

madreloco.....can I vote for you in the upcoming election please Grin

Seriously Madreloco, have a fag and chill. Then work our where the short fall in revenue is going to come from if they make smoking illegal.

I tried vape and it was awful.

I don't see why people feel the need to vape walking around supermarkets or standing on the school playground, you can't light up there so shouldn't vape there

squoosh · 21/04/2015 12:56

maldrelco needs to sit down with a big fat spliff.

lertgush · 21/04/2015 12:57

You can still smoke outside cafés and pubs in the UK? Ugh.

Been banned here for donkeys years, thank God.

Morelikeguidelines · 21/04/2015 12:57

The problem with banning it is that banning other drugs has not helped to stop people becoming addicted and also puts money in purses of gangsters and people traffickers.

Otherwise II'd love it to be banned!

At least e-cigs mean that my elderly mum, who is on strong pain medication for her disintegrating spine, and who is liable to just nod off at a moment's notice because of this, is no longer smoking ordinary cigarettes in bed!

madreloco · 21/04/2015 12:58

I would have a fag and chill, but my dad just died of lung cancer. Still smoking. So I'll pass, thanks.

Smokers are such twats, you think its so funny to harm others while you're killing yourself? Fucking hilarious.

Stinkersmum · 21/04/2015 12:59

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo because vaping isn't smoking!!!!!@

ilooklikemrsploppy · 21/04/2015 12:59

lertgush - where are you ?

The short fall in revenue could be made from massive fines to all you fools who wouldn't give up even if it was illegal.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 21/04/2015 13:00

My deepest condolences for your loss, madreloco. My dad died in 2000, as a result of smoking-related illness, having smoked almost all his adult life, so I share your pain.

Stinkersmum · 21/04/2015 13:01

You're right squoosh, a regular cig won't work with this one..... Confused

Madreloco I'm sorry for your loss. You're not alone. I too have lost family members because of smoking. But I didn't feel it gave me the right to be so abusive and fucking rude to total strangers on a forum. Get a grip.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 21/04/2015 13:03

Stinker the way I see it is if you could have managed your weekly shop or collect the kids without lighting up then you can mange without the vape. It annoys me.

squoosh · 21/04/2015 13:04

SDTG I'm sure it's a huge relief to you knowing your mum isn't smoking in bed any more. E-cigs really do have a lot of benefits.

Stinkersmum · 21/04/2015 13:04

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo too bad. It's legal.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 21/04/2015 13:06

You are taking me as anti smoking/vaping - I'm not, as I said I smoke. But there is a time and a place.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 21/04/2015 13:09

I don't understand what the problem is. The whole point of allowing smokers to smoke outside is because....IT'S OUTSIDE. The smoke just drifts off. It might be a slight inconvenience to have someone smoking a couple of tables away in as much as you can smell it, but it's not like you are inhaling totally smoke filled foul air, like when smoking indoors was allowed.

Smokers can only sit outside, which is totally fair enough. If you don't want smoke anywhere near you, then you have lots of other seating options.

It sounds like you are saying "I want everything absolutely my own way and fuck everyone else".

I find it disgusting when people smoke weed RIGHT next to me in the park in summer. And that's not even legal!! But rather than clutching at my pearls, I simply move.

I have to add that most smokers I see in beer gardens etc tend to be very considerate. I regularly see people switch places if someone on the same side next to them is eating. I've seen plenty of people hold their cigarette in the most bizarre position to try and prevent smoke annoying other tables.

Basically at some point you do just have to get over yourself.

I'd support making smoking completely illegal in the UK which would basically solve everything, but it's never going to happen due to the amount of revenue the government gets from it.

MythicalKings · 21/04/2015 13:10

madreloco, do read the thread, dear. I said I don't smoke.

madreloco · 21/04/2015 13:12

Don't dear me, I couldn't give a fuck if you smoke or not.

IKnowIAmButWhatAreYou · 21/04/2015 13:12

I don't mind smokers, it's kids that piss me off!!

Take your whining, screaming brats to a soft play area & leave the nice cafes for the grown ups.....

And don't get me started on Poor People, Rich People, People on Phones, People talking loudly, Cars, Buses, Dogs, Pigeons....

Or you could just accept the fact that you're outside & have to interact with different people with all their faults....

madreloco · 21/04/2015 13:13

But I didn't feel it gave me the right to be so abusive and fucking rude to total strangers on a forum. Get a grip.

Ironic. Words on a screen can't hurt you. Second hand smoke can. So why are you complaining about the former and defending the latter?

IKnowIAmButWhatAreYou · 21/04/2015 13:14

Smokers are such twats, you think its so funny to harm others while you're killing yourself?

I think you mean "Twats are such Twats" - that's obvious "dear" Wink

squoosh · 21/04/2015 13:14

madreloco you need a lie down in a darkened room. You seem to be a bit..........het up.
