Stinking smokers are the one's that do it for me, you see them outside the supermarkets having one last puff before going inside and the one's in the pub who blow their stench all over you and let their fags burn under your nose when standing at the bar, i really can't wait till the 1st of july. Any chance of a countdown till the ban ?

What's going to happen to all that fish if they ban smoking? I will miss my kippers....

Hopefully the police will see sense and prevent people standing around poisoning themselves and passers by with their disgusting habit on pavements outside pubs like George, B&B, spoons No 10 etc. There is no sadder sight than seeing a bunch of saddoes all huddled around each other outside a pub merrily hacking and coughing their way to a suicidal early grave together. The pubs with any sense at all will just ban it from the entire premises, gardens included, and then those of us who enjoy breathing fresh air would not have to cast our healthy eyes on to a bunch of addicts wheezing and desperately ""dragging on a fag"" to get their fix whilst gathered together in a stinking group for moral support. Pathetic stinking junkies hanging around in doorways used to be something to read about in Big Issue, now it is you saddo.

The government should issue all food outlets with Electronic Scales and Body Fat Calculators and if the diners-to-be are over the recommended healthy limit then they should be given the alternative Non-Chip Menu. All sellers of alcohol, either over the bar or in sales outlets, should be issued with Breathalysers and Blood Test Kits enabling them to refuse to serve booze to anyone over the limit.

AH good ol' Rustic, spoken like a true sanctimonious ""used to smoke"" type converted bigot, well done!! I like the way the Government has made it a ""self policing"" excercise, by offering landlords,landladies,and restauranteurs the opportunity to pay fines of up to £2,500 if they allow punters to smoke within their premises!! Clever eh? i see this a case of double standards, when you think how much revenue our Government gets from tobacco!! hypocrits, i say, the lot of em, if youre gonna ban smoking, ban tobacco, it patently obvious, innit? cheers rustic, i love your inane comments here wouldn't be the same without you,hehe

Rustic, I am not a smoker, but you seem to be very defensive and accusatory for a non-smoker. I think it's bizarre to outcast 35% of society (probably more in Bridport) because of a tenious (and currently unproven) link between passive smoking and lung cancer. When doctors say that they estimate 600 deaths a year are caused by passive smoking, they are guessing on circumstancial evidence. SIDS victims that lived with smoking parents make up at least 50% of that figure. In addition, pubs will absolutely STINK. I haven't been into one yet since the ban started but I bet you they absolutely REEK of stale beer and cheap disinfectant. People will come to realise that tobacco smoke in small quantites was subconciously making the environment more cosy and familiar. Now, the environment will seem bland, doggy, beery/cidery and B.O.y. NICE. The best place to be will be in the George when they have an open fire in the winter, and the wind swings around to an easterly and the bar is filled with wood smoke.

you (denzlepob) remind me of the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland.. (its a compliment)
Posted by Rustic, on 03-07-2007 11:03,
I am amazed at the leniency of the fines that will be handed out to scum landlords that allow fag junkies to pollute the clean healthy lungs of others on their premises. Carlito how can I be defensive, and yet at the same time, accusatory in my argument that smokers are junkie saddoes that either are invcapable of or too stupid to get help. It is an accusatory statement of fact and doesn't need defending. In answer to the question asked at the begining of the article, I have just read of a place that the sputum hacking, odorous, littering fools can all congregate and indulge in their heinous habit together, ""the memorial gardens"", if you can make it up the hill that is.

careful Denzlepob, you'll be called a grunt (with the rest of us) in the next breath. As for the smoking thing, its good for me cos i only want a smoke when i'm in the pub, now i cant, -and that makes me glad that my kids won't come to associate pubs with fags and get drawn into that whole stoopid social scene. Carlito, i don't smoke either... except for fags...(??)

As a non-smoker I think the ban is ridiculous. Yet another example of big brother thinking for us. Non-smokers / anti-smokers may be celebrating regarding the ban but they should ask themselves 'what will be next?' and will the next thing apply to them?
Posted by mb46, on 03-07-2007 21:46,
I disagree with the comments of Rustic at no. 2 above. I don't smoke and find a room heavy with cigarette smoke unpleasant, but see little to take offence at with people smoking in the open air. One would expect that with reduced opportunities to smoke socially, smoking will gradually decline. Meanwhile, for many pubs to continue they need to keep as many of the present customers as possible, including those who are smokers but unable to smoke on the premises. To say that if they pop outside for a cigarette, they should be pounced on for drinking in a public place is surely not only intolerant but inappropriate in these circumstances. Bear in mind that if smokers stay at home, children and other non-smoking members of their household are going to be exposed to increased levels of smoke, presumably to their detriment.

Well RUSTIC, i hope you and your non smokin friends are happy.But i want to know what happened to you all on sunday?. As it was the first non smokin day i thought i would of needed a ticket to get in any of the pubs in town. We were led to believe, you, non smokers were all queuing up to get in these smoke free pubs. But alas ,the only ones in were some of the usual smokin clan.Spoons had around ten people in, but Mr Weatherspoon was ahead of the game and gave us smokin, in the garden.So put on your specks Rustic ,there was no one out on the street (you can't blame the smoke, hardluck).And i hope when mr spoon puts our patio heaters out there, you and your friends stay inside.He should put a sign up saying smokers only. Rustic (with a tear in his eyes; see ""callin time"") and friends also put another death nail in the only few remaining pubs in town.Most of them have no gardens for us drinkers and smokers.To answer the original question the woodmen first then the hope and anchor, both has gardens

Hark at you lot of junkie excusing suckers, lets get some established facts going here. 1, if you smoke you stink 2, if you smoke around others who don't they will stink like you and will have to breathe your smelly and potentially harmful air 3, at no time in any of my posts have I said that I don’t smoke, 4, I have said that I like fresh air, I have said that I have healthy eyes, I have said that smokers pollute the clean healthy lungs of others, I have said that smokers are a bunch of saddoes, therefore some of you need to wind your accusatory, ill-informed, presumed guilty before innocent, narrow minded, smoke scabbed necks in. 4 If you can't admit to having a problem addiction, or of the suffering that the addiction can cause to others and yourself, then you are not ready to open your mind to a cure. 5 I have not said that do not smoke 6 I do steam in the bath

Posted by Carlito, on 04-07-2007 13:04,
Shagsack...I don't smoke. FULL STOP. Maybe I had, maybe I will, but currently and definitely NOT. Rustic, you are a **** aren't you? 1. No, you don't stink, you smell of fags. Some people like it, get over it. 2. True, but so what? 3. True, but I don't care if you do or not. It's your attitude that stinks. 4. Others' lungs may not be clean and healthy. You're guessing this. 4. (oh and you can't count you ****)...Cure what? If you like smoking there is nothing to cure? It IS possible to admit to having an addiction, and still enjoy smoking. Is your head hurting yet? 5. See point 3. 6. If you bath rather than shower, you are wasting water on a weekly basis that equates in value to the upbringing of the average Somalian Child. The words ""Kettle, Pot and Black"" spring to mind. Child killer.
Posted by denzlepob, on 04-07-2007 17:07,
Rustic, wasting water is a myth, there is no more or less water on this earth than there was in the beginning when God not Darwin invented the earth. please stop F*****G (Fagging)swearing.

Carlito ho! ho! ho! ho! thanks for the info, I am now going to install a bigger bath and I might even get a hot tub. There are already enough children in the world coming out of our women and taking our jobs. Went up the pub last night had a good few, woke up this morning and my clothes only had my normal ""animal musk aroma"" and didn't STINK like the bottom of a whores handbag as they would have done before the somking ban. Denzlepob , what the fark are you on about, water? god? surely you mean COD. Remember that if god wants us to beleive in her then she should exist.
Posted by Carlito, on 05-07-2007 09:39,
denzelpob have you measured it?, and if so, what with?
Posted by cordless, on 05-07-2007 10:34,
Rustic,i think its about time you took up smokin, cos you seem to me you got it all wrong. You call smokers, stinkin sadoes, landlords scum and insult every one that doesn't agree with your point of view.I honestly think you must be one of those anti everythink.I'm wondering if your one of those who don't even go in a pub?. When all the pubs shut there doors through lack of trade, we can blame you and your anti friends.You sound a very very sad person yourself, so may i suggest you see a shrink.
Posted by Denzlepob_at_work, on 05-07-2007 13:07,
I have measured it, I used a bra. God or Cod? Makes a mockery of most song lyrics, for instance: Cod only knows what I'd be without you What if Cod was one of us Cod's footballer hears the voices of angels Good Cod y'awl (James Brown, the Codfather of soul) Anybody please jump in at this juncture....

The way I see it, it's choice innit? If you choose to smoke, you smoke, if you don't you don't. I choose to smoke which, by looking at 'Rustic's Rule', means I should be smited down and suffocated by a giant nicotine patch. I'm not fussy about whether it should have been banned or not, I just pull pints (and the occaisional intoxicated woman-shaped thing (perk of the job)).
Posted by Rustic, on 07-07-2007 14:34,
Just a barman, having read your post it is obvious that it is not just pints and mingers you have been pulling, I should imagine your keyboard looks like it has been artexed. If some stinky fag smoking junkie stands next to a non-smoker and pollutes the air that they have to breath with a cocktail of harmful chemicals, addctive drug and halitosis, I agree that it is a choice but not for the victim who no doubt would ""choose"" not smell like a pox doctors assistants handbag. If you are so devoid of will power and common sense and actually want to smoke, then do it in the privacy of your own stinking hovel and then the clean breathers, smugs, do-gooders and the ""Oh I am lucky as I chose never to smoke""s wont be able to feed their caring self satisfied souls.
Posted by denzlepob, on 08-07-2007 19:08,
Dear Rustic, you assume all pox doctors assistants are female?
Posted by dragon, on 09-07-2007 07:57,
i Wanna see where and when the first ""SMOKERS ONLY"" club/pub opens, and see how the sanctimonious ol' frtas get along with being banned from going there!! I mean, this is discrimination innit? they can ban you cos youre a smoker, why cant non-smoking wusses be banned from drinking establishments too? and incidentally, how many lung cancer cases are caused by the remnants of the wide use of things like DDT powder, and all these smelly room fragrancers(since when did the word ""fragrance"" become a verb?) theat take up room on supermarket shelves, where good healthy food should be stacked ?? food for thought, and lets look at how many deaths are due to alcohol? worth thinking about banning drinking maybe? watch this space folks hehe
Posted by Rustic, on 12-07-2007 04:55,
Men carry handbags as well denz, except that we call them by the rather masculine and testosterone image conjuring name of ""MANBAG"" (but real men and women know what they are) It would only have confused the issue and detracted slightly from the point I was trying to make had I mentioned manbags. It was an unintentional slur on all the hard working males members of the pox doctors assistants profession and I would like to apologise for any offence caused but I just can't bring myself to do it.
