    They should lock them up for 28 60 90 days without trial.

    I went for a pint last week, first time since the ban came in, although I packed in 2 years ago all the guys I was with were sat outside puffing away, so I sat with them rather than be a 'Billy Nomates' inside. Christ it was bloody freezing!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Plus most of the fun women smoke*, so if you stay inside you are in a target poor; self righteous lentil-muncher rich environment. I'm glad I'm married, young lads up and down the country are going to have to take up smoking en masse if they want any action now.


    *no offence intended to any non-smoking but also fun women reading this.

    I'm afraid EA is right.
    Don't think I'll start smoking myself but I might have to get used to passive smoking.
    Of course it's not a big deal anyway if enough alcohol is involved.
    I need to go back in my life and find the place where I lost my militant antismoker opinion.

    I think it has to be somewhere under a big pile of love.

    The two worst things about the smoking ban -

    1) Not being able to skin up and smoke a fat doobie at undercover music events

    2) The horrible stench of beer,sweat and farts in clubs that were previously covered by smoke
    Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

    Bah, smoking bans. Over here too, started this year, and the ban will be completed by 2008.

    This is why smokers die younger! Stress from this constant harrasment, from being fiscally plundered, from being chased outside in the cold all the time.

    The evil Germans even forced Zidane and the rest of the French team outside for their calming coffee and smoke breaks!! The stress this causes to the French mind costed us the World Cup!

    It's quite telling when your football team would rather smoke than win the World Cup.

    I just heard on the radio today that a town here in Nova Scotia is set to enact a by-law banning smoking in cars when there are persons under 18 riding along.

    The only downside I can see is less stupid people killing themselves.
