Re: Smoking ban in pubs

However, I usually just hang back a bit and I can control the amount
of rubbish coming into the car. Also, I think by the time the smoke
disperses in the air it becomes a much less severe problem, so people
breathing 5m away don't really stand a high risk of any health
problems - especially as they probably don't breathe it in for more
than a few minutes.

Ya think? You need to do a bit more research into inner-city
pollution and how it affects people. :(

What really intrigues me Chris is how people who are existing on basic
benefits (job seekers allowence £57+ a week) can even afford to eat
never mind smoke and drink at todays UK prices.

Yeah, our benefits are pretty much a scandal - especially state
pensions that people have paid into all their lives and then find they
hardly have enough to live on. Then they start talking tough on
incapacity benefits, as if the disabled people out there hadn't
thought of working. Suddenly disabled people are supposed to apply for
all those wonderful (and non-existant) jobs for people in wheelchairs
or on crutches.

We should maybe get jobs in accounting departments, based on
our ability to survive on starvation budgets? The IS how
many "get by", missing meals and living with bodies forced
into partial starvation shutdown mode. Why d'you think so
many "old dears" have whiskers? (Look up how the body
responds to long-term malnutrition).
