Smoking while dining Alfresco ?

<< < (3/23) > >>

Jimbo:
There's been no change to the smell of "Holier Than Thou," though.

Rover:
Oh dear, how trite!

YANNIS26:
I gave up smoking in 1986.I respect the right of any one who wants to continue smoking but I do not believe it should be allowed in a dining area be it within an enclosed space or in the open. Knowing the well advertised dangers of second hand smoking I believe any smoker with a conscience would not smoke among diners.I do not care if it is law or not .
Just take look at the NHS notice enclosed.
NHS
Secondhand smoke
Secondhand smoke comes from the tip of a lit cigarette and is the smoke that the smoker breathes out.

People who breathe in secondhand smoke are at risk of the same health conditions as smokers, particularly lung cancer and heart disease. For example, breathing in secondhand smoke increases a non-smoker's risk of lung cancer by 24% and heart disease by 25%.

Children are particularly affected by secondhand smoke because their bodies are still developing. For example, children under five have an increased risk of chest infections, and babies are at greater risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or cot death.

How nice that the Greeks (some of the longest-living people in the world) have a more relaxed attitude to overbearing regulations.  I can happily accept not smoking in restaurants - but bars? I don't think so.

I suggest that people who don't like the smell of smoke don't go to barbecues.

Personally, I dislike the smell of sanctimoniousness.

Thankfully, IMO, you were not voted into parliament then.

lilly:
I actually would not have  minded Jimbo being voted into parliament, at least he is honest and talks straight unlike the bent incompentent baffooons /nose in troughs self pocket lining dictators that are running the show in this country! :) :) :)

The thing is if you do breathe in a some smoke in a two week holiday then it won't do you any harm, it might though if you are constantly exposed to it but since it has been banned in pubs in the Uk where most of us live then I would not worry and just enjoy your holiday. Most of us drive cars which pollute the air that we breathe on a regular basis (adding to pollution alot more than a 2 week holiday of being close to a smoker) and then we catch a flight to Corfu which also causes pollution so we are all guilty tbh but then nobody is perfect!
