smoking at home???
 

Heard on teh radio this morning that a couple in N wales are being 'investigated' for smoking in their own home because a neighbour has complained he can smell teh smoke in his house!!!

What is this country coming to. The council should not be wasting a single minute of time and effort in this stupid persecution. Next they will be telling poeple they can't fart or do a stinky one in the loo!

yet the council will do virtualy sod all when a neighbour keeps you awake every night for months with loud music :rolleyes:

bloody pathetic infact the complainer should be prosecuted for harrasing his neighbour :rolleyes:

Same here, If I choose to go into someones home that smokes or a pub etc that I know will be smoky then thats my choice. in my home I exect eole not to smoke unless I say its OK. BUt as for imposing my views on a neighbour, no way should that be allowed

Re: smoking at home???
 

Its pathetic, I completely understand complaining about noise but not smoke, we shouldn't be told what to do in our own homes.

Re: smoking at home???
 

Absolute garbage, your home your rules.

Will there be a restriction on the type of food you can cook next as some cooking I have smelt streets away.

Re: smoking at home???
 

absolutely bloody ridiculous
its idiots like this that waste valuable council and police resources
and clog up the system which means real issues don't get sorted out
people like this enrage me
yes i am all for dealing with real nuisance neighbours but this just extracts the urine. and whats worse is the council entertain it whilst as some people have mentioned they don't do sod all about loud music at all hours and vandalism etc

Re: smoking at home???
 

they must smoke like a bloody chimney if they can smell it next door, that or there walls are very thin!

I gave up smoking and yes if you are a none smoker you can smell a fag a long away, I can smell the neighbours coming out of there window when its open , but been investigated in your own home :eek: thats taking the pi$$!!

Re: smoking at home???
 

Well if the complaint is serious enough to be investigated then I presume this couple are either smoking wacky baccy or using their chimney as a bong.

There's no smoke without fire...




I'll get me coat

you know you cud be right! never thought of that

Re: smoking at home???
 

interesting thought!

Re: smoking at home???
 

We used to smoke in our house, but since I was pregnant its been No Smoking. I would never dream of telling someone in their own home not to smoke.

This investigation is pathetic, they must have paper for walls, my neighbours smoke pot and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, can't smell anything, and they are well behaved off it.

Re: smoking at home???
 

I know the council up here stated that if you smoked and a council official was due to visit they didnt want you lighting up for the previous hour. Whether that was because the visitor might be a none smoker or it is incase the employee might get lung cancer I aint a scooby. To be reported for it and the council treating it as some social crime beats the hell out of me. So the council takes action and you change jobs and at the interview they ask about criminal convictions imagine haveing to say you recieved an asbo for smoking at home!

Re: smoking at home???
 

sorry but if i smoked and wanted a fag in my OWN home, I will have one, NO suited up div will tell me otherwise, even if the queen came she would have to lump it too......as I have always said 'they take you how they find you' otherwise BOG OFF....:D


BUT I dont smoke so I aint got that problem!!:rolleyes:

Re: smoking at home???
 

Better watch they dont accuse smokers at home of attempted murder! :eek:

Right attitude though Panther. :D
