Smoke Free Britain

[kompressaur]

I think they have to Kop. Well a bit of something. Isn't it all just a cover for something else? Be great if there was opium dens like there used to be. As the fella says its good for folks that want to relax with a smoke rather than a drink and the antisocial atmosphere of drink.

Back on topic it's true that the smoking ban has ruined my life Kop. Going to the pub for a drink and a smoke was alll i ever went out the front door for. Now i can't smoke i dont go out. The smoking ban is creating sociopaths.

It's just tobacco mixed with fruit shaving - apple, grape, strawberry, etc.

Quite pleasant really!

Can you imagine wanting to smoke one of those now though. Walking down the street on your cig break with a huge fcuk-off Shisha pipe!

Many smokers will stop going out so often too, i cant be arsed with it either now, i enjoy a fag and a pint together, i can do that in my back garden.

I went out on fund raising event with a few landlords last week, they say one in every three pubs will close down over the next two years, i think it's just as much to do with our drinking culture as it is to do with smoking.

An anti-smoking group in Liverpool is calling for all movies with smoking scenes to be given an 18 certificate.

SmokeFree Liverpool told BBC's Radio 5 Live it wanted to see the change but the film classification board said the idea was "heavy-handed".
The push - backed by the city council - comes amid research showing young people pick up the bad habit from watching films containing smoking.
One city official said Liverpool may even act alone to restrict film access.
Andy Hull, the city's head of public protection and chair of SmokeFree Liverpool, said an adult rating on movies that depict smoking will reduce the number of young people lighting up.
"The international evidence...is that one in two children between 11 and 18 who witness smoking in movies actually experiment with - and therefore start - smoking themselves," Mr Hull said of recent research. Liverpool already carries the unenviable title of lung cancer capital of England, with some of the highest smoking rates in the UK.
