Just as a passing thought, if you washed your car & parked it over night in the North Liverpool areas of Bootle, Seaforth or Waterloo the next morning there would be a thick sticky coating covering it, a mixture of coal dust, wheat dust, fine rust & carbon dioxide do you think that that would help the old ticker & wind bags?


Oops My boo boo that should read carbon MONoxide, it must be the ciggies eating away at my little grey cells.

A situation may be desperate but never serious

Have you noticed, when the state sticks it’s nose in the cry goes up "NANNY STATE" when it’s pointed out that something my be dangerous the cry goes up "BLOODY HEALTH & SAFETY" but if the state gives a load of twonk about smoking the sheep bleat "BAN SMOKING" funny old world ain’t it.

Just a thought, any-one seen scientific, or medical research, which outlines the benefits, or health giving properties of smoke inhalation from ciggies?

There is plenty of supposed evidence from the anti-smoke lobby, surely, there is  evidence some-where from the tobacco industry to support smoking, giving glowing health giving benefits.

Personally I think people should be given freedom of choice, and cigarettes should be on show for who-ever wishes to purchase them.


Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.

I am an ex smoker but unlike a lot of you i am not a hypocrite. When we smoked we did it on buses, trains, cinemas, in fact just about everywhere, but we did it IN PEACE with nobody interfering, but now because you’ve managed to stop you get the holier than thou attitude and condemn the people who do smoke. Smokers who are invited into my home have the freedom to smoke if they wish(so far no one has) but the offer of an ashtray is there if it’s needed. I think some of you ex smokers need to come down off your high horse and remember when you were the ones who were blowing all the smoke around, it’s not something you can conveniently sweep under the carpet because you don’t do it any more, so i think a bit less criticism of smokers is called for.
When it comes to chest problems my father died from collapsed lungs but it wasn’t from smoking, they were full of coal dust as he was a coal miner.

Well said ,Maureen love!
Good timing too, as I was about to rip someone a new one....

Obviously smoking didn’t affect your rational thinking and social courtesies as you are clearly saying it like it is, that you are normal.
Very few of us left, Maureen..

Steve requested we stop talking about smoking, i understand that, on the plane, i am all geared up to not even think about it, and some idiot states AGAIN, may we remind you this is a non smoking flight......duh, there are NO smoking flights anymore!

Now we have Dr Don Knight, photocopying medical information verbatim from a copy and paste.......

Blow it out your ear Don.

Marijuana  ciggies...... no I don’t smoke them, but I’d eat them if given the chance.  

Morality is doing what’s right regardless of what you’re told. Obedience is doing what you’re told regardless of what’s right....What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.
