Smoking

[Bill]

Because it was allowed? Try that now and you'll be turfed out of wherever it is you've chosen to smoke against the rules set out. Again, not rocket science.

I don't think many people are that bothered that rules/ laws are being broken if they don't think it really affects them.

I don't see many people bothered that they heard a bit of foul language at a football game which is against the rules.

People seemed to be have been brainwashed into thinking walking within ten feet of a lit cigarette is gonna cause them to drop dead within the hour. It's not uncommon these days to see silly twats wafting the air in disgust as they walk past someone in the street smoking. Often as they're walking alongside a never ending line of 42 buses on Oxford Road.

And they're breaking no rules. Yet.

I'm just gonna go and twat the local shopkeeper in the face and rob his till. It won't really affect me unless I get caught. I'll let you know how I get on.

wasting your time pidge, they are weak so they come the old "I don't care" shit. course they can go without a cig, easy peasy, just prefer not to in order to look big. bolloocks. they are hooked, good and proper. 7 quid a time (but they "only have the odd one now and again") to kill themselves and infect all around them, including their own kids, which in truth SHOULD be against the law as its clearly abuse.

the best threads on here are the ones that start "help needed, been thrown out for smoking". I piss my sides every time.

You're obviously just trying to piss people off with a post like that. We eagerly await the thread you make when you get banned from the stadium and desperately look for ways to get your ticket back

Well people who would get pissed off just reading about someone smoking are even more of a lost case than those who can't wait to moan about it ruining their day, ten minutes after every game.

How come nobody ever cared when people were smoking away in trains/shops/pubs etc. etc. a few years ago?

You only ever do things you are allowed to do?

Course not, nobody does but there are 'rules' that get broken, such as maybe doing 35 in a 30 zone, and rules that are clearly there to be stuck to, like not smoking in a pub, office, bus or in this case, a football stadium. Like I said earlier, nobody would spark up a cig in a pub because they know it's not allowed. Why is it different in the stadium if the same rule is in place?

De niro does. He knows to abide all rules.

So it not the rule breaking per se that you object to but rules you consider important?

That's fair enough. You crack on breaking the laws you deem unimportant like dangerous driving and I'll do the same re: smoking. Although a neutral observer might consider actually breaking the law as worse than a legal activity that is against club/council rules. ( smoking outdoors on spirals)

The best thing about the smoking ban is that I can go to a pub/club all night and not come home stinking like an ash tray. If I go for a piss at half time in 117 I smell like I used to after a night out in a pub/club in the old days. If I go for a piss at the match when I get home my mrs can tell because of the smell.

Better for everyone the smokers and none smokers if they let them out at half time.

As a bit of an aside. What ever happened to those millions of people who were desperate to use pubs and save the industry but were holding off until the smoking ban?

Yeah err you've clearly missed the point I was making. Let's say 32 in a 30 zone then for arguments sake - hardly dangerous driving but in the eyes of the law still wrong. I would say 99% of motorists will, at some point, go over 30, 40 or whatever the designated speed is for that road. I would say 100% of people would stick to a no smoking rule in a pub, so why do those at the stadium seem to think it's a different rule for that venue when it's actually exactly the same? No smoking in the toilets means no smoking in the toilets, there is no leeway like there is doing 3 or 4 miles per hour over a speed limit, if we're using that.

Probably stopped going when they started charging £3.50 a pint.
