Personally I quite enjoy having a cigarette when after I've gotten completely drunk.   It looks cool too.  I know it's bad for me, but I probably only smoke 1-2 cigarettes a week.  It's no worse than wandering around an average smoggy British city.

I am not a 5-year old, I don't need this authoritarian British government telling me I can't harm my own health.  And don't give me that crap about the NHS has to pay for it - smokers have already paid their for their own treatment many times over thanks to the taxes levied on ciggies.

I noticed with interest that in New York, where they banned smoking in bars, that it caused sales at pubs and bars to be reduced massively.  Some bars were having lock-ins to allow smokers to exercise their civil liberties.  And don't give me any crap about non-smokers' civil liberties - even in Britain there are loads of non-smoking bars, and practically every pub has a non-smoking section.  What's that?  You want to drink in a smoking-only pub?  Or you want to sit in the smoking section?  That's as ridiculous as saying you want to have a picnic on the M6.  Grow up you woolie liberals and stop trying to foist your perfect ways on the rest of us.

It looks bloody stupid.


This is what they try to drum into people to try to make them not start.  But the simple fact is that it looks well cool.
