So, this smoking ban............how many of you are for it, and how many against?

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

If you are against it - why are you?

We need more prison wardens like you. What was the name of that P.O on Bad Girls?

Wisteris re roll ups being better for you you better look at this...

Bodybag?

not healthier at all i mean...

Yes that's the one! What a great programme that was.

bum doesn't work. if you type in

you will find that roll ups are more likely to give you lung cancer, apparently...

That surprises me because when I used to help run a well-being clinic at work, the smoking cessation coordinator told patients roll-ups were better.

I better start chewing lots of gum for my farting protest then...

a myth apparently plummymummy.

Will have to update myself accordingly

Badgirls was a great programme until it got abit silly towards the end.

Definately for it - doesn't go far enough IMO.

Gah.

By great I meant mindless entertainment. I don't think those programmes stand up to scrutiny of plot

For it. i've lived in canada and norway where they have it and business isn't affected, people go out into the snow for a smoke. going for a night out is so much more pleasant.

Oh just remembered her name - Sylvia!

For it.

I live in wales anyhow so its already here and i am glad. The way I see it, a smoker can go have a meal and pop out for a smoke; if I go for a meal and a smoker was already there I end up with weeeping eyes and smelly clothes.

Besides the human rights thing doesnt stick up imo- unless the smokers can explain how it is their right to invade my airspace with their potentially poisonous fumes? AThe hman right to safe breathing ahs to come first.

TBH my smoker friends aren't aprticularly arsed by the ban- and pubs hree (annd this palce is famed for them) are justa s full as ever, just you can see poeple, there's no smoke haze

willr ead thread now LOL

I didn't gain any weight when i quit, but then i didn't over eat to compensate because i just truly didn't want to smoke anymore so just stopped instantly. But then i have strong willpower.

ome research suggests roll-ups are more harmful.
You can always find research to support something if you look hard enough, not saying it's not true but I don't think it's been proven yet.
Most health professionals I know agree that it is less harmful - note I am not saying not harmful just less....

as an aside, at Zurich airport on Saturday I was gobsmacked to see this glass room with about 20 people in there smoking - it was quite bizarre and a bit zoo like.

I'd have been embarrassed to be in there!

I bet it stunk in there!
