gularscute Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 No one has ever been harmed by someone else smoking outside. Unless it was outside a leaky gas cannister as you were walking past. You'd have to go up to them and wrap your mouth around their cigarette and inhale deeply every time they lit up and even then, the biggest danger would come from the irate smoker. Why can't people mind their own business and leave smokers to enjoy their cigarettes in peace? Next, the interfering snoopers will be complaining about peering through someone's letterbox and being offended by the sight of them smoking in their own homes.

muddycoffee Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 .. she lived to be 80 but didnt die from a smoking related illness....and never had any chest problems at all.....god knows how lol That's an easy one to answer It is because smoking only kills half of smokers, she must have been one of the lucky 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if your gran hadn't smoked she could therefore have had another 16 years with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Australia, 100 degrees in the shade in October!! ......Playing devil's advocate though, what if it was a joint that caused the blaze??? Your comment , in my opinion is a little off topic, and a tad extreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That post is so wrong! I wonder if you have considered Shaz's feelings about this, what a thought to throw at somebody who has lost a person that they loved! Your post has really upset me .......

denlin Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Denlin, you have absolutely no idea whatsoever what any of those people are at the hospital for - please do not presume to know that those in their dressing gowns are not perhaps already dying, or the visitors using this dediated space have not been recently old a loved one won't make it til Christmas... You have no idea why any of them are there, yet they all have reason to be... Nether have you but if the number I see outside the hospital are smoking because they or a loved one are dying then the Hallamshire must have the highest mortality rate anywhere in Britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
