Smoking

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Hmmm, what about drink driving, domestic violence, pissheads fighting innocent people...alcohol abuse has a lot of passive victims

and they get punished for it, so your point is?

I'm guessing his point is drinking isn't banned despite the mayhem it can cause.

well it's a daft point really, as those things are punished as are the instances where smoking particularly affects others.

His point was in reply to a poster that claimed drinking only affected those that indulge.

No its a perfectly valid point. One is permitted/encouraged/sold/accepted whereas the other is banned.

My point is a response to the ridiculous statement...no one dies from passive drinking, which is frankly a stupid thing to say

As regards smoking in the bogs, well it's a bit shit, and a tad antisocial, some of the smokers seem to have a heavy antisocial vibe about them, a lot of people just don't give a fuck about anyone else.

Taken as a prism for modern society its a worrying trend, but taken in isolation it's fairly inconsequential behaviour, the smoke smell will have gone after 5 minutes tops, and your lungs should just about survive until the next half time against Sevilla, i'd worry about other things in life
