More guff from the anti-smoking Nazis

You think that's bad:

Worker gets the sack for smoking at home | Daily Mail Online

Doctor fired employee for smoking at home: suit | New York Post

You jammy git. It used to be quite easy to find "smoking" hotels, now it's virtually impossible. As for pubs, we even have some who ban smoking outside, except for small areas well away from the middle class occasional drinkers.

Oh, and fags are less than €6 a packet here )although on Saturday I accidentally ended up in Luxembourg and they're even cheaper)...Now you know why Farage wants German citizenship

Great idea. Why do people still smoke in this day and age anyway? (says this smug ex-smoker)

It won't affect me, I'm objecting to the principle that "health experts" who are funded by the state have to justify their existence by interfering in other people lives. It's not the job of the state to dictate how people live their lives (unless you live in the EU of course ).

That would be true if smokers didn't rely on the state for their fooking health care. You really are very stupid indeed.

Don't be too smug. I'm an ex smoker too but it's a myth that your risk of lung cancer falls. It remains elevated forever. Basically smoking is like a death escalator, the point at which you get off, your risk remains at that point. It doesn't decline.
The good news is that your cardiovascular risk does decline.

Smoking is banned by most landlords (me included) in the private sector so why not in the public sector?.

That was a party political broadcast by the Dutch Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity.

Because the taxpayer - everyone in the UK - pays for social housing including smokers.

And their lung cancer treatment, gets paid by the tax payer as well

Do you still live in a council house?

Nice try.
