Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
The first time I'd heard of a Wigan kebab was from my youngest son who's partial to putting a potato pie in to a large tea cake! Not for me though, I think its a lad thing.

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
People want the right to think for themselves... Oh joy... The irony.
Sat on a wooden bench in a London park that's been put there by the grieving relatives of some poor soul who died of a smoking related disease. Hold that thought.

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
How do you know that the person died of some smoking related disorder?
The death could be from any number of causes.
And why shouldn't people have the right to think for themselves?
Just because some people make poor choices doesn't mean that everyone does.
If the government wanted to stop smokers...really wanted to do it, then they would make smoking illegal......they could stop the sale of cigarettes(the tax revenue from such action would be lost and would have to be recouped in some other way).
Everyone chooses their own vices.......some of these are riskier than others......but we are all capable of making the choice.
This is not to say that I condone smoking......I do not.

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
Could I just remind people that a nurse taking a smoke break had to walk away from the hospital grounds to a lonely bus shelter.
Because she was so vulnerable she was raped and murdered. does anyone deserve that as a punishment? Surely all those opposed to smoking would still want people to smoke safely? Or are smokers not worth considering in a PC world?

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
Could I just remind people of the concept of "three on a match" as explained to the young soldiers by Captain Hugh Crummond in the film "Bullshot". Also covered in the Alarm song "Third Light"
First light the sniper saw you.
Second light he took careful aim
Third light he pulled the trigger
on the gun
Dead dead dead
Irrefutable evidence smoking kills.

I saw that one when I searched and dismissed it as just being coincidence that she was having a smoke rather than punishment.

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
"Drivers in England will be banned from smoking in their cars if they are carrying children as passengers.
The move, which will become law on 1 October, follows a similar ban in Wales and aims to protect young people under 18 from second-hand smoke. Scotland is also considering introducing a ban."

Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
The driver is also liable if he/she allows anyone else to smoke in the vehicle.
So what happens if it's the under 18 who's smoking?
