To think smoking should be BANNED???

Or it at least should be taken back into the pubs where it doesnt effect me, they cant all sit together in their deseise ridden smoke.

I am SOOO sick of walking behind someone who is smoking or walking through their putrid cloud of smoke, i hate it for my DS to, the smell makes me SICK, and i mean it actually makes me feel like i want to vomit!

Why cant smokers just realise how much they stink, you can smell a smoker a mile off.

I also hate how when someone speaks to you in the street, if they are smoking they will put their cigerette behind their back whilst talking to DS, like that stops him from breathing in you cancer fumes!!!

I think if someone is going to smoke they should at least do it where its not going to have an effect on anybody else (like in their own homes)

i dont think iabu, i think the smokers are v. much bu to expect everybody else to put up with their disgustingness - i think its v selfish.

then why start an AIBU thread about it, when you don't want to hear anything besides oh, yes, you are not a loon at all.

when in fact, according to some, you are!

lulumama · 16/09/2008 17:39

you can;t ask if you are being unreasonable and then get cross because people think you are

southeastastra · 16/09/2008 17:39

perhaps you should move to a better area where less people smoke

flourybaps · 16/09/2008 17:39

why dont you go to the pub? some pubs are lovely?

Have a glass of wine, relax..........

MaureenMLove · 16/09/2008 17:40

Get yourself down the pub for a drink, love. (Assuming you share that vice with many of the rest of us!) No smoke in there!

SheikYerbouti · 16/09/2008 17:40

The smell of brown sauce makes me gag

Should I suggest that the CEO of HP Sauces shuts his dirty brown sauce empire down?

Not actually a bad idea, then DP can't ruin all of the lovely stuff I cook for him with brown sauce

MaureenMLove · 16/09/2008 17:41

LOL Floury! Great minds!

zippitippitoes · 16/09/2008 17:41

you are rather shouty and hysterical

much better to mellow a bit

getting so irate is not good for your children either

flourybaps · 16/09/2008 17:41

ah what good advice we give maureenmlove

SheikYerbouti · 16/09/2008 17:42

Stress v bad for your health. Zippi speaks the truth.

bloomingfedup · 16/09/2008 17:42

YANBU regarding the smoking ishooo.

But YABU to start another thread on it.
Duck for cover now.

Mum2OliverJames · 16/09/2008 17:44

i dont drink at all and i dont drive either!
and for your info i live in stamford which is a rather nice area, and isnt usually full of smokers so i am not usually wound up about constantly smaelling it all day!

i really dont understand why people think iabu because i dont like the smell

how about i dont shower for a month then stick my smelly armpits in your face?

Mum2OliverJames · 16/09/2008 17:45

thats what annoys me so much i dont go in pubs so dont care if people smoke in there, and then they banned people smoking in there! now its my problem and have to hold my breathe everytime i go past one!

SheikYerbouti · 16/09/2008 17:46

So are you saying that posh folk never smoke? FYI, most of my mates who smoke the evil weed are what you might call posh.

zippitippitoes · 16/09/2008 17:46

perhaps you should start drinking

research suggests aperson who drinks some alcohol suffers lives longer than someone who doesnt drink

i think this is related to relaxation

expatinscotland · 16/09/2008 17:46

'i really dont understand why people think iabu because i dont like the smell'

you didn't ask AIBU about not liking hte smell.

you asked if you were being unreasonable to think it should be banned entirely and then got hysterical when people disagreed with you.

zippitippitoes · 16/09/2008 17:48

suffers in that post

was goijng to say suffers less stress

some pubs are quite nice

bloomingfedup · 16/09/2008 17:48

OP - you will get slated. Run very fast.

FrockHorror · 16/09/2008 17:49

These "posh", saintly types give me the ache.

Get over yourself and find something else to whinge about. Is your life so dull that the best you can think about and get stressed over is what other people get up to?

Mum2OliverJames · 16/09/2008 17:50

i dont go in pubs because i dont belive children should be in pubs and i dont fob them off on someone else like alot of people do, my ds is my responsibility not anyone elses
i also hate seeing children in pubs, learning bad habits

OP posts:
Ewe · 16/09/2008 17:50

Oh get a grip! YABVU - I don't like the smell of fast food, should I post an AIBU to think fast food should be banned?

Or maybe, AIBU to think that people with BO should be disassociated from society and live on there own smelly island?

You can't control the world you know.

DisasterAreaIsOffToCostaRica · 16/09/2008 17:51
