RootsBooster Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 An obvious fire hazard would be all the hydrogen in the tons of H2O there! Actually, I'm just being silly, that's not the point of this thread. Every so often I see posts that appear to be in reply to the topic title, with no actual relevance to the topic and the opening post itself. It seems that some people respond to certain suggestions in the title without actually reading what the thread starter is asking or commenting on. That's why I started this thread, to see if any, or how many, would react to the thread title and not bother reading the OP, especially if it looks boring. There's a good chance the thread will be removed but I'd like to see it stay for a day or two at least, as a little social experiment or something. Maybe there's something to be discussed about the type of person who responds to titles like this, or the power of suggestion itself, I don't know!

Rupert_Baehr Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't think the Oxygen in the water is as big a fire hazard as the additional Oxygen atom in the Sodium Hypochlorite used to sterilise the pool. Still, if enough of the patrons pee in the pool then the reaction of the urine with the Sodium Hypochlorite may well give off enough chlorine to discourage smokers from lighting up.

Mea Culpa! - I obviously didn't read the OP properly (which may give you part of the answer to your question. ) Is the Fire Hazard at swimming pools more significant than the risk of inebriation? After all, swimming pools are full of water (with a bit [or more than a bit] of pee in it. ) Water is made of 2 kinds of Gin. Oxy-gin and Hydro-gin. Oxy-gin is pure gin and hydro-gin is gin and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxy-gin is pure gin and hydro-gin is gin and water. I was just wondering now, the type of people I'm talking about, do you think they bother reading any of the former posts at all? They rarely come back and post again on the same threads or respond to any posts that question them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epiphany Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It should be the collective decision of the owner and the employees, properly empowered with negotiation rights. And this is the case regardless of the true intention of the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I've been known to swim a mile and nip out for a cig before popping back in to swim one more - but it involves a lot of fuss at most leisure centres. It would be handy to smoke in the pool, like you can in private pools. As long as tab ends were placed in a suitable container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
