Mindless crap in your mind perhaps. Different points of view. I've never called yours mindless crap ... yet. THread should be closed? why? to stop it evolving into an anti smoking thread?

NoFakie 45 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Originally Posted By: Mamabear They thought it would here too .... but it hasn't. People adjust.

For younger people and cities, that's fair enough Mama. The pubs I meant were ones in villages away from the towns that are supported by older people in that community. Such pubs often double as post offices, grocers, newsagents etc. Pubs that form an important role in their community and part of their town or villages' character. They're the pubs people don't want killing, not the glitzy fake brass and disco lights jobs in the city that are slightly more tolerable without smoke. Many older people are used to and accepting of smoke in the pub, especially if it means the pub can keep enough regulars to stay open. Blanket bans forget that. Didn't some decorator in Britain get a fine for smoking in his van? They said it was his "workplace". Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Same thing happened in Canada. I truck driver was arrested while driving his truck and smoking because it's considered his workplace. How about people with home offices? In fact, we run two businesses out of our home so would we be fined twice if I light up inside? Link to post Share on other sites

If you have one non smoker in a company of ten smokers though the dynamics change for the benefit of the non smoker. But if everyone smokes, and no customers are coming in to the workplace - why shouldn't they be allowed?.. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Mostly would come down to litigation concerns I'd say. One gets cancer and decides to blame the company because they allowed smoking and the smoky work environment helped cause it. Well that's probably what they'd argue... Most of the banning of smoking has come about because of litigation concerns. Probably why it's still so prevalent in Japan, it's not an overly litigous society. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Matter of fact, Japan says they will not pay out for any tabaccoo litigation. I was taught that the making of law, executing, and prosecution, the 3 are independent in Japan. Clearly, money talks and bullshit walks and there are people above the law.

soubriquet 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Well played Go Native. If you don't like smoking, don't come. If you are here and don't like smoking, go home. Enjoy your smoked food on your smoking barbecue and heat your house with a smoking wood fire. The carcinogens (tar) are the same, but lack the buzz of nicotine. If you come here and choose to complain about smoking, don't forget to leave behind from your advanced western countries: youth crime, vandalism, car theft, mugging, graffiti, dog shit, junkies.
