On the news.
That ministers are looking to ban smoking in public spaces.
Eg: pub gardens
Schools
Sports venues.
Claiming breathing in 2nd hand smoke putting a massive cost on the NHS.

Controversial and anutha decision to divide the public from the Labour Party.

That will be the final nail in coffin for many bars and restaurants, I am ante smoking but it’s going a bit too far, how are they going to Police it ?

It was surprising how people very quickly complied when the indoor smoking ban was introduced.
IMO a lot of smokers want to stop and when they are "told" to stop they will.
Billy Connolly did a great piss take of smoking on stage once if anyone can remember it. He said about the growing of it shipping and rolling it and the punchline was then you put it in your mouth and set fire to it.

Very hard to police outside every school.
Riots police to film the parents.
Then smash their doors in later for 7 years in the Clinker.

All getting stupid now.
Some x policeman now a freedom for speech campaigner on TV news last night.
People are literally frightened to use their phones now incase they get a prison sentence.

And he stated that Starmer is still acting like a prosecuter where anyone who has a different opinion to him will more than likely go thru the courts.

Probably a fair few regretting voting Labour now

Oh n fuel duty is set to rise.
I don't smoke or drive but genuinely feel sorry for them who do.
Politics n football.
A wicked combination.
UTP.

One of Connollys comments on the smoking ban was "whats next a special lane for drunk drivers"

you just stop going to places where you once smoked. i go through 4 packs a week. do i want to stop possibly yes but will i comply i i,m told to do. a big NO until they get a grip of drug dealers and bang up those who are on them first. totally sick of those in power who say you cannot do this or that or say anything against what they stand for. next they,ll be telling us what to wear next with a banning order at the vic if you wear the incorrect government footware. the end of the individual is nigh. first morning rant over.

Ah the good old days in Asters, the Gem and Leos on the A19, coming home stinking of smoke.
I cant stand even walking behind a smoker now in the street.

upstairs on buses beat the lot. was like a set for a jack the ripper film where you were pushed to see the front if it was full of workers.

Probably police it by getting people to grass each other, seems to becoming the norm.

Did you say Prosecutor Kevin, Thought you meant DICtator .

Wankers are walking the streets during the night, Trying car doors, House doors, Sheds you name it.
And what happens SWEET FA.

So lets keep decent folk in line, Like hearding sheep.
Countrys fooked.

I have never smoked but I think our World is getting more silly by the day. I am personally not against people smoking especially now its well under control already. This will close pubs and restaurants because the customers who smoke will stay away and the people who work at these establishments who smoke will probably leave. I would imagine some of the best chef's smoke due to the stress n strain of running the kitchen and others in other stressful jobs. It's well known that politicians have a smoking area but are they going to get banned aswell Next it will be vapes then booze then meat. Where does all this stop

He's combined both.
Probably emigrate next door to Sunak in 5 years time.

Well n Truly.
It's like we half human half robot.
And spy cameras galore tracking our every move as well as tracking to our phones n bankcard.
You will obey this Foreign Takeover or go to jail.

Glad I'm dead in 23 years. Cudent of handled this shit for 80 years.
Feel desperate sorry for the younger generations.

How come you can predict the year of your death are you a wizard or something.

Of course fuel duty will rise, they are trying to force people to buy electric cars and once they do they introduce a tax on them. Same as they did with diesel cars, we should all buy one more economical then make diesel more expensive than petrol.

They banned smoking it taxis, works vehicle's etc it worked for a couple of weeks now it's as if there is no ban. I hate smoking but it's up to the individuals if they want to take the risks as long as it doesn't effect me get on with it.

Can't we just use the microchips that were implanted when we got our Covid vaccines or use the Killer 5G towers to sniff out smokers. Seems good use of thing that are already running the World

Everthing is talking back, But who to.
Even ya cars are at it, Engine starting, Door opening anything you can mention about a journey is fed back, But to what end.
Tvs, Soundbars, Think you youve turned them off, Behave.
Kids have no chance, They don,t know any different.

As long as he does not predict any one else's i,m ok with it.

Trouble with that statement, Is you are being reasonable, And saying we should have a CHOICE.

There will be a knock on your door if you keep it up.

Most bunkerites are older than me.
No predictions.
Just enjoy the banter till Starmer n Co. Stops it.

You could take up smoking if its that bad

Loved the irony on the single deck buses of smoking being in the back half of the bus…..the smoke petrified to pass beyond rhe centre exit.
Trying to recall the East European airline who had smoking area’s on the right hand (starboard) side of the aisle.

All planes had smoking at the back as well. Pretty horrible though I smoked then. Those of us who smoked are reaping the benefits now and millions have died worldwide.Human nature is pretty wierd.

The most single minded, violent people who were against smoking were ex smokers.
Never even tried it, my Dad took up smoking in his early twenties when he docked in New York as he was sent to see a Doctor with his chest infection…the doctor advised him to take up smoking …..as it has a ‘antiseptic affect on germs.’

always like the false coughs they put on if a smoker is in their vacinity.

Leave us smokers alone...pick on them fat bastads who load their plates up at buffets and cost the NHS a fortune each year..

My mother in law had a stroke early 60s, she smoked, the doctor said it won’t make any difference if you stop now. He should have been around when she had a face mask and oxygen bottle and rolling about gasping for breath in her final few days before passing away, it was horrific to witness.

Seriously if I am in a vicinity of smokers it does make me cough, it’s not false, why should I inhale some one else’s poison ?

fine, but its like non car owners moaning about and coughing about cars on the road polluting where for one reason or another it does not bother a car owner when they walk about. vegans and veggies moan about meat eating but us meat eaters just eat the meats of choice but never mention the others. hate the smell of weed but its up to them to carry on or stop their way of a life you only have once.

Raving in front of a smoke cannon.Having another pop at us smokers?

You being a smoker Accy you will be convinced about the negativity towards smocking.

Balkan Air did the right aisle smoking. They also had stewardesses that looked like Bella Emberg

wasn,t always a smoker but used to moan like hell when my old man decided to buy a pipe and smoked it. never bothered when my mum and sister got their fags going. was quickly told to go out if i didn,t like it unlike now where i could ring up childcare to give him a shock.
