Ive never smoked, but must admit smokers do have it hard, am sure they could allow smoking behind closed door rooms with air-conditioning filters, in public places shopping centers, airports, pubs etc etc






then it's doing nobody who dosnt smoke any harm

Eating cocks in thailand could be a dangerous business, specally if you wake up with the chef :lol: :lol:

Roy Castle never smoked in his life but died of lung cancer which he got by playing in smoky clubs - it's a definite hit on the licencing trade but in time I think people will get used to it.

BTW - we have the most educated generation ever that are taught about the dangers of smoking and the related hazzards - but the young still smoke :?

It smells, and we smell after being near you smokers.

Didn't you say at the week-end you were giving up. For some reason or other ;)

I'll not spoil it for you Ben.

Nothing cool about seeing someone dying of lung cancer, perhaps if you had witnessed that as i have, you would think very carefully about the danger of smoking.

Oh yes because a dummy is highly addictive :roll:

Of course dummies are'nt addictive.You're missing the point.
They are a soother, which by the sound of it is what you need from time to time.

I haven't missed anything, the point you were making is that giving up smoking is as easy as giving up sucking a dummy. Don't wriggle your way out because your original point was so pathetic and stupid. :?

Answer me this then-what on earth is the meaning of rolling up a piece of weed ,putting it in ones mouth;then setting fire to it.(ref. Bob newhart)?
I am told it is to relieve stress. IF YOU DID'NT START IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU WOULD'NT NEED TO SUCK YOUR DUMMY!!!!
