Blowing Neighbours smell away

[Fuschia]

Shout "Fire! Fire!" and throw a bucket of water over the fence.

I would wait until the wind blows their way and then set fire to a couple of car tyres.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

In one. And it worked.

No-one is going to suffer from passive smoking outdoors. Annoying, possibly. But then so are lots of things neighbours do.

It depends on how concentrated. It can certainly be very unpleasant going into a building past all the smokers at the door.

PS I did smoke (a pipe) until the BBC gave me Legionaires' Disease. (1988) Not a comfortable way to give up smoking.

Serves the non smokers right for forcing the smokers outside.

Roy Castle, the entertainer.

It seems you are hallucinating on the narcotic properties of the alkaloid agricultural insecticide you are addicted to.

[Dave Hill]

I'd have thought that this thread is just a big wind up. Otherwise think about moving house, as they have every right to smoke on their own property. I havn't smoked for almost 50 years so am not a fanatical smoker with an axe to grind.

True. I have always been fortunate in not having near neighbours but I am downwind from the local allotments and a stable who burn (smoulder) their bedding.

I suspect smokers may become defective in the sense of smell dept. (no offence intended to TMHM:-)

Well it will be if the OP gets that fan working :-)

[The Medway Handyman]

Nope.

Ronnie Scott.

It is well documented that Roy Castle did die of passive smoking, but if you are simply going to contradict anyone who doesn't agree with you then I shall not waste my time with you.

Bon weekend!

He died of lung cancer. Passive smoking was a suggested cause of that lung cancer. That does not make it a well well documented proof.

[The Medway Handyman]

Roy Castle died of lung cancer, like many non smokers do, but it wasn't caused by the myth of passive smoking.

The types of lung cancer affecting smokers & non smokers are entirely different & occur in entirely different parts of the lung.

Inconvenient I know, but true nevertheless.

[Fuschia]

He believed it himself. That's good enough for me.

[The Medway Handyman]

Afraid not.

[Huge]

Which he will. There's no point in arguing with junkies.

[Jon]

Very true - there are a lot of myths about smoking, perpetuated by those with an agenda and propagated by those who slavishly believe whatever they're told.

For a more balanced view on the subject, the singer Joe Jackson decided to look into REAL facts regarding smoking and wrote "Smoke Lies, and the Nanny State"
