I'd be interested to see the figures for the last 5 or so years actually... It FEELS like a lot of people have stopped smoking? It seems like it's not actually that common any more... A lot of older people seem to have quit or at least cut back a lot, and a lot of younger people seem to be switching to vagina.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it or if it's not as big a shift as it seems to be though. Makes me wonder if there's been an obvious drop in sales or tax revenue...

[edit] LOL! vaping, not vagina!

Yes i see nowhere near as many smokers these days.Everyones vaping.I've vaped for about 3-4 years.It's better than any gum or patches.It is very addictive though
My lungs feel so much clearer though.No more coughing at night in bed and stinking like a fag.

No they can Smoke in their Own hone or garden


Or in a wood area away from PAVEMENTS

[Jamie89]

I don't think it really effects anyone (except the smoker)

Also, I recently quit, and I quite like walking past smokers now and feeling superior to them Don't take one of my daily joys away from me

Er what lol?! I said that, quite clearly, in response to you talking about people smoking outside (which is what the thread is about). I never suggested anything about smoking indoors being ok, so your facts about Roy Castle were completely irrelevant, and didn't "correct" what I was saying at all. Which I was quite happy to leave as it was, but don't bring me back up because you're being called out on your irrelevant example as if I'm somehow to blame for you getting something wrong, and don't tell me I don't know what the facts are when I haven't stated anything that is untrue

Nothing wrong with smoking outdoors provided the smokers use bins for their fag ends. There is zero health risk to others out doors

Depends where you are, was eating outside a restaurant in the summer and two smokers were sat next to us, the smoke kept drifting into our faces and I could smell it on my clothes afterwards

I have said this many times on here, I have never smoked and will not but they pay vast taxes for their smoking needs and I see no reason at all to stop people smoking in open spaces.
Either have the courage to make buying cigarettes, cigars and tobacco illegal or stop persecuting further those who choose to do so.

Superbly put.

My generation started smoking in the first place because it was the 'social norm' and was deemed 'cool' thanks to massive conditioning via glossy advertising on hoardings, in magazines and newspapers, adverts on TV and in cinemas, and even thanks, in no little part, to most of the top film and TV stars - male AND female - smoking in films and in TV programs.

Various UK Government policy regarding smoking is, and always has been - as you so rightly intimate - disgustingly hypocritical.

It was not that long ago, that pubs and clubs had 'Public Bars', 'Snugs', 'Concert Rooms' AND 'Smoking Rooms' - a system which worked admirably well, with no one who did not smoke being forced to sufferer 'second-hand' smoke and all its undoubted health risks and unpleasantness, yet no smoker was made to feel like a criminal and forced to smoke outside in all weathers.

You are absolutely correct again Joey.
