    No smoking here is great! Woohoo!

    I was guilty of smoking and when I did, I didn't want to inflict it upon others.

    You English new that being ruled by Scots would result in you following our lead...

    I'm a little more scunnered by the ID cards to be honest.

    And what about the staff working in that 30% sector?

    A lot of bar staff are actually smokers, it goes with the territory. I don't have figures but I would say it was cloaser to the 70% than the 30%.

    Anyhow, I didn't expect to change anyones opinion.

    i wouldn't want to get any by-law infraction fines while i was at it... ;)

    is it still illegal in england to expose yourself in public while snorting coke off of the back of your hand?

    chimene....

    you don't say?

    Sorry Undercover! I pasted something and it didn't take, oops!

    I've been smoking for a loooooonnnng time, but never have been rude about it. I haven't smoked in my house for 13 years. I found out it causes children to have ear infections constantly. My oldest had them constantly. I quit, and she never had one again. Thank god I stopped, my second daughter was born with asthma.

    I alwasy sit in the non smoking section of restaurants. The only place I would smoke inside would be in a sports bar or something like that

    I don't mean any disrespect here Chimene but if you realised that smoking near your daughter was bad for her, stopped and even noticed an improvement when you did so why would you think it is okay to smoke around anyone else? Even in a sports bar?

    Maybe because people choose whether to go there or not.

    Hey ballistic

    I like you man - always have. So how 'bout we draw a line under this one, it's just not a battle I choose to fight in. We don't have to agree on everything do we?

    Suits me fine. This is a highly contentious issue when I bring it up in "the real world" also.

    Darn though, I've seen "substances" smoked at apostfests , I thought maybe I would get a little more sympathy!!!

    I'm just waiting for my taxi.
