expat - sorry about your mum. COPD is a horrid illness
bundle - sorry about your dad
policywonk - I work on a locked ward. There is currently a smoking room. It is open for two hours, closed for two and so on (as a way of minimising the amount that people smoke) and shut from midnight til 6am. Patients have tolerated that regime very well and nurses are not expected to go in there. If a patient is on close observations, the nurse will view from the window. There isn't much of a health issue re. passive smoking. I was told that the government wanted to protect the smokers from the effects of smoke Okay - but it's legal to smoke. It's their choice....or at least it should be. As I said, I hate smoking - but there is something very fundamentally wrong here.

she smoked a long time, lush.

she blames no one but herself for her disease.

Just though i'd add my bit:

I dont think smoking should be allowed anywhere that serves food
Or anywhere there are children (including parks)
Or in the workplace

however

I am a smoker who goes through phases of loving it and hating it. At the moment I love smoking and am really enjoying it. I never smoke in my house or my car. Who knows next week I might go off it and stop for 3 months.
I went to Cyprus recently and you can smoke everywhere there (even in the airport). But I found myself going outside from the bar to have a cigarette, just feels weird now to smoke inside.
Saying that I do miss having a fag and a drink on a night out

I don't care if people smoke in their own time and space but if they think they don't SMELL they are bonkers

Smokers DO smell, they smell horrible, their clothes smell horrible, their hair smells horrible and STUFF I BUY FROM EBAY FROM THEIR HOUSES SMELLS HORRIBLE

I don't understand why people worry so much about B.O. but they SMOKE! It's so bonkers
