total total bolocks, its because airline companies realised that smoking in a confined space is not nice to people that dont smoke, and at 37,000ft up there isnt anywhere else to go. Just like in the stadium, if you need a piss and the toilets are all full of people smoking, there is nowhere else to go is there!!!Damocles said:perpetualprism said:i think you have missed my point. indeed people don't smoke on planes because it is illegal and the price is high for ignoring that fact. also a plane is in essence an enclosed and sealed tin can, flying at 40,000 foot (?! not well up on plane cruising altitudes) it is highly irresponsible in today's world to smoke in such a place. that is why i think smoking should be allowed but in special, designated places (not the toilets btw) away from others that don't smoke or wish to breathe second hand smoke.
More crap. If you were to smoke on an aeroplane, you would actually help out other passengers as the air recyclers would work harder and produce cleaner air.
Planes banned smoking way before everybody else, simply because it saved them a shedload of money (recyclers burn energy which essentially comes from fuel).

rickmcfc said:What do these people do when they go on a 9 hour flight to florida or even a 2 hour flight to spain, i bet they manage to not have a fag in the shitter then dont they. its not hard really is it!!!
rickmcfc said:If you stand there having a cigarette and i am inhaling YOUR DIRTY smoke, that is very unhealthy, i may as well be smoking myself. If you stand next to me when i am drinking there are no health implication whatsoever upon yourself. Also like i have said in earlier posts, there should be an area for people to go and smoke, in an open space, like a pen attatched to the ground on the outside. So compare someone smoking to drinking and saying it will effect peoples health in the same way is just laughable.

No non smokers on this have said I'll write to try and get a smoking area for us in the lower tier or the club to allow smokers their legal right to smoke on the spirals (programme from last game of last seaon, Points of Blue, P64 where the council clearly say the spirals are not substantially enclosed and therefore legal to smoke at, thats straight from MCC so lets not have any of this shite about its illegal there) for the other two tiers, only that they will write to City and the Council and get people thrown out.
I agree 100% about smoking in the toilets but the attitude of the OP and some of the non smokers in this thread stinks worse than the toilets they are complaining about. Instead of trying to find a solution for fellow fans you are completely intolerant and call for their banning, then you have the cheek to call people who smoke selfish. It might have escaped your attention but smoking is an addiction, I can go without one through the game, that doesnt make me bigger or better than another smoker who cant go those 2 hours without one.
If you dont like the smoke in the toilets lobby for smoking area's, dont be twats and call for Blues to get chucked out.
