One is a filthy disgusting habit, the other isn't!

Wouldn't that be a fire risk? naked flames amongst all the used condoms?

Or

Maybe your boys school wasn't like mine and didn't practice safe sex?

Me neither Judith, I was once in hospital with another patient with very severe asthma, one minute he was sat on his bed using a nebulizer, as soon as he'd finished he was stood outside the front door in his PJs with a fag in his gob, the height of stupidity, not to mention the waste of hospital time and resorces

Not too many used condoms behind the old bike shed at Accy Grammar when I was there ... brass was hard to come by; so, guys got more milage out of their condoms by taking them home, washing them carefully, and hanging them on the rack to dry. Re-"cycling" isn't a new idea

As far as I remember from when I worked at Hyndburn BC before my retirement, no smoking was allowed even on outdoor sites belonging to the Council. Also, no-one could smoke in a Council van, even if it was parked in a remote location. I also seem to remember that if a Council employee, e.g. Environmental Health Officer, had an appointment to visit a resident in their home, the letter to the resident advising of the appointment would state that no-one was to smoke in the house while the Council Officer was present. I've a feeling it also specified a short time period before the Officer's arrival, perhaps half an hour, when there was to be no smoking in the house. Council employees were also offered smoking cessation classes, I think at Accy Vic, if they wanted to try and give up smoking.

The time scale was actually 1 hour before a visit judith, another example of sheer cheek of the council. was the same if a worker was coming, even if they were smokers themselves.

And you don't think this is all kinda dumb? And you don't think this kinda shiite transcends what is reasonable and, well, sane, and has passed onto the plane of small-minded, punitive, zealotory?

Come to think of it, your earlier comment that your mind was in a state of boggledness annoyed me. It was more than a trifle disingenuous. You know darned well why they are out there smoking. You could have said to one of them: "Hi, how's it going, eh" (Well, ok, you would have spoken English instead of Canajan) ... maybe ask the person about an addiction that seems to disorientate your mind.

Maybe, once your brain is under control, you could consider things such as the relationship between poverty and tobacco addiction ... this might lead you to ponder poverty, poor parenting, and lack of education; and how they relate not only to smoking, but also to most other social and political problems. And moving on from there it might be productive to look at real problems rather than at punishing the victims of what still is a legal drug.
