You think people who don't like tobacco smoking are puritans? Sillier and sillier.

Mmmm ... nicotine

Mmmm ... the hit from that first cigarette in the morning

Err ... Mmmm - gobbing up half a ton of brown phlegm 10 minutes later

I think it would make sense to legalize cocaine and ban tobacco. Smokers could then switch and become coke-heads. Cocaine is both less harmful to the user and harmless to bystanders.

Does this make me a puritanical fascist?

Even if we take health effects completely out of the equation, smoking around people who hate tobacco smoke is like farting in a crowded lift. Extremely discourteous. Although, according to TMH, anyone objecting in this instance would be a stupid, puritanical fascist.

LOL

Oh dear :-((

Another person with an inability to answer simple questions, but the ability to jump to wrong conclusions. AKA a f****it.

Here is a clue: it was your brother who died - not you.

(Another clue : primary smoking is not secondary smoking)

Yawn.

You are.

Another f****it jumping to wrong conclusions.

So some say, but why ?

There is no hard evidence to support it and few have died from it

they don't ?

playing in smoky jazz clubs

lymphoma in cats and the likelihood of them developing health complications increased the longer they were exposed to passive smoking.

Yep - that's proof if ever there was any

Well, report back when you've been cured of your addiction to stupidity

What drugs have you tried dennis ?

Alcohol caffeine ketamine

Not read it but ...

I think that the general thrust is that he has gone out to find real facts rather than the oft peddled assumptions

Paul Gadd's sexual preferences are out of tune with the current commonly accepted norms. I'm not sure what the relevance is

Well, the facts are, if you smoke (not talking about secondary smoking)

you are clogging up your lungs with tars and other carcinogenic substances, impairing their ability to function properly

the carbon monoxide you inhale preferentially attaches to the haemoglobin, further reducing the body's ability to get oxygen to the cells which need it to produce the energy required to function correctly

There are no real benefits from smoking ( slight improvement in memory aside) - no high, no tripping, no benefit to the body

They are now seriously expensive - what, £7/packet

So it begs the question - other than the nagging little voice of addiction - why would any rational human want to smoke?

Sprouts

So, why do you smoke?

Which ones ?

Good, though, isn't it

There should be no more publicly accessible smoke filled rooms

Yeah - good, isn't it
