What is the general feel of ppl smoking around children thse days? I dont mean in confined areas like the house but what abt outside eg, walking down the street or in the park? Just curious..

I wish I'd bought a long cigarette holder when I smoked, like Bet Lynch.

I hate smoking now, esp pg women

I love smoking the odd cigarette, and to be honest, I'm glad I'm not in the UK anymore to receive dirty looks if I light up a cigarette outside, in the streets, where there are more imminent dangers than my sodding cigarette.

Kreecher - don't use the fact that its been 32 years as an excuse not to give up .

You are no more hooked after 32 years than you are after 2 years, or 23 years ime.

Shame on you for smoking whilst pg.

I am an ex smoker. And i will judge you. Oh yes.....

mollyroger · 08/10/2009 20:40

Even outside, your children's hair will stink of smoke, and everyone will be able to tell except for you!

halfcut · 08/10/2009 20:42

ahhh the daily anti smoking MN thread ...

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 08/10/2009 20:43

It's a foul and disgusting habit.

Do you want your children copying you?

halfcut · 08/10/2009 20:44

Tortington · 08/10/2009 20:44

isn't this like asking how people think of smacking

or some other clearly black and white issue that will in the main get ranty anti smoking replies and engender yourself to the MN massive

32y is nothing. My nana had smoked for about 60 odd years. She had to have an op and was told smoking would hamper the op's effects and her recovery. She stopped that night and has never smoked since.

It is never too late to quit.

What do I think of smoking? It's horrid. It is a danger to the smoker's health; it disfigures people's general appearance; it stains clothing and household items, even the paint colour of walls and ceilings; it is a danger to people in the vicinity of the smoke; etc. Can't think of anything positive.

mollyroger · 08/10/2009 20:46

sorry custy, thnk u'll fnd it's pnts...

GhostWriter · 08/10/2009 20:47

It isn't black and white at all Custy.

I believe smoking in the park is fine as long as you're wearing green, you vote Tory and you are within the first 8 days of your menstrual cycle.

Otherwise you stink and should be fired into Lebanon, strapped to a rocket.

It's quite a complex and often specific issue really.

Tortington · 08/10/2009 20:48

yes now you have pointed it out - it is rather a complex issue

mollyroger · 08/10/2009 20:56

innit!

halfcut · 08/10/2009 20:57

dis thread iz pure jokes

FlightAttendant · 08/10/2009 21:02

smokin is so dry

sweetkitty · 08/10/2009 21:03

my MIL smoked for 40 years, then one day it killed her

OK you could argue that she could have been run over by a bus or struck by lightening but she was one of the 300,000 people who will die from their habit this year

she won't see her grandchildren grow up now

lilyjen · 08/10/2009 21:04
