O.T. Regulation of smoking in public places

I don't know how you do that. Did you used to be less moderate?

When I was younger I smoked roughly 35 to 40 Rothmans a day and somehow
stayed fit and reasonably healthy, I went over to rollies and then back
to the old Marlboro Lights via Silk Cut. I was on at least 20 straights
a day until last year, when I started on the rollies again and cut right
down. I hate the taste of them and I'm too lazy to roll them half the
time. Having to smoke outside the house helps too, when it's raining all
night I don't bother smoking.

Ideally I would love to give up, but there's that little thing inside me
that makes me want to keep doing it.

A mate of mine gave up by *only* having a smoke when he could stand in
the rain to have it.

It's called nicotine. But it is 'only a little thing'. It was that
realisation that enabled me to kick it. The actual physiological
addiction is quite insidious, but the withdrawal symptoms are very
slight, just a little niggle. When you stop to think about it. It's only
the first drag that you really miss. You can get the same feeling of
satisfaction by dragging an imaginary cig and just thinking about it. Do
that and count to five and breathe out. It really works on your mind.

Kids. You missed kids. Little cunts get everywhere now, even decent
boozers.

Torn, I am. In restaurants, no question. No smoking at all.

A digression. A few years back I was in a Dublin restaurant which had no
'no smoking' section. My main course arrived just as two Septics arrived
at the next table, one of whom lit a cigar.

As luck would have it, I left just as their main courses arrived, and I
took great pleasure in dropping my guts in a loud and aromatic manner as
I passed their table. Lovely.

Anyway, in pubs (by which I mean *proper* pubs) I would not support a
ban on smoking. I'd *like* one, but I wouldn't *support* one.

There are too many things I like about an old-fashioned boozer to ****
with one, just because I don't like it.

Does that make sense?

Why go through all that bollocks when I can simply roll a real fag and
smoke it?

Really? <thinks> seems logical
Those who know have always promoted sustainable logging/reforestation.
So if the Amazon basin was rapidy re-planted now we could forget
Koyoto....whatever it was.

 

However...

Smoking cigarettes is your pleasure, ciggy smoke is the by-product of your
pleasure. It gets in my hair, my eyes, my clothes, my throat, my lungs. It
stinks.

Drinking is my pleasure. Piss is the by-product of my pleasure. How would
you like it if I stood on a stool and pissed on your head?

 

This is strange.

I'm a recidivist smoker. I've smoked since I was about 13 excepting
between 25 and 32, 34 and 39. And er... the last month or so.

I've never had a problem stopping when I feel the time's right. I have
had problems not starting again; but since the again is several years on
I don't think it's a physical addiction that's the root of my weakness.
Still I'm not smoking currently.

 

Bollocks.

My brother lives in Boston, Mass. They banned smoking in bars etc a while
back. The smokers grumbled, but now smoke outside when necessary. He says
its much nicer to go out for a drink now.

**** smokers. **** the lot of em. Polluting cunts.

Rapidly replanted...... Sure.

 

Not once they've been chopped down and logged out and the offcuts burned
ITYF

 

**** Bikers. Noisy polluting dangerous cunts. Using up the capacity in the
NHS with their stupid accidents. Ban 'em, ban the lot of 'em.

 

Well I don't smoke at the moment but would disagree strongly with the
banning of smoking in pubs.

**** non-smokers. **** the lot of 'em. Self-Righteous Cunts.

Here's a bit of news.... Non-Smokers die too![1]



[1] Not mine, Bill's.

 

Admirable sentiments. Agree with all of it. If I'm having chips 'n'
salad at the bar I'll put up with the smoke, but if it's a sit down
dinner, non.

 

Go to an unsmoky drinking establishment. Easy.
I thought you liked my BBq's anyway ;-)

Last time I quit I was ill. This gave me a bit of a boost as there's no
way I felt like smoking. I went without a fag for over a week and even
in that short time I saw other people rolling fags and thinking "what
the hell are you doing?". They looked so fucking stupid rolling fags I
was glad not to be doing it.

That's when it started. For some insane fucking reason, I *forced*
myself to smoke again. I didn't want to and never got the inclination or
feeling to smoke. I didn't get that teeth clenching, eyes bulging
feeling of gotting to get one either.

Fucking weird!

That's right. Discriminate against the smokers. Self righteous,
santimonious twats.

 

and not a moment too soon.
