Changes post smoking ban... (Lounged)

[Jah Lush]

LOL. Good idea that Brendan, bit of exercise between pints. I'll take my glass with me though, just fill her up mate coz I'm gasping for a fag. That the sort of fitness regime I can relate to.:)-DCheers.

My new mission in life is to enter the london marathon... Get a cab to the last mile, and run along next to the compeitors blowing smoke in their faces! (by which time they'll have run 25 miles, and will be really gasping, and so will inhale a good bit... That'll teach the fit gits!) >:D<

Come on people, it's bad enough we can't smoke in the pub, but it's happened, and we'll deal with it. But saying we can't stand outside.... Surely you breathe in more cr@p from passing cars!?!?!?

[Jah Lush]

Good call on the Marathon, I may even join you and that's quite correct Keef, breathing the fumes you pick up on any normal High Street's traffic flow is probably akin to smoking 20 Capstan Full Strength a day, so cough on that yer namby pamby afraid to fooking die bloody health fascists!

[citizenED]

As much as I approve of the fact that people going to pubs do not now come back reeking of fags - have to admit that the social split now in evidence tells you something that the health fascists don't want to admit - that smoking is cool. That's why all the pop stars do it and all the kids want to do it. That's why everyone wants to stand al-fresco with the puffers.

Dam right. The fact that smoking is cool is a universal truth. I try to convince Mrs B about this every night as I fire up my evening pipe.

[SeanMacGabhann]

is this cool?

IS THIS cool?

IS THIS COOL???

[Ladygooner]

The worst thing about smokers walking round the block is that if I am walking behind them I am inhaling their smoke for longer time than if they are standing still!

great reference Sean

[Keef]

I started smoking Marlboro Reds when I was about 13 because I saw Ozzy Osbourne smoking them in an interview. I honestly wish I had never started, but I did so there you go.

And yes, I am cool as f**k! ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Blimey Keef, we smoke the same ciggies. I started inhaling at 12, Players No 6, progressed to Winston at 17 and Marlboro Reds about ten years ago. I occasionally enjoy Gitanes too. English cigarettes like Bensons and Rothmans taste like cardboard to me.

[SeanMacGabhann]

When I briefly took up smoking in the mid 90s (difficult time yadda yadda) Marlboro Reds were my smoke of choice

[spadetownboy]

surely there must be someone who started off on more or was i the only one.hard to beat a marlboro red but i certainly have a soft spot of a gauloise,however all time favorite fags are good old rojos or majors for the uninitiated.

I started out on a pipe that I nicked from my uncle when I was about 16. I never used to smoke when I went out at that stage, didn?t go out much at that age anyway. At university I got onto the Marlborough reds as I soon figured out that I was not going to get laid looking like Huck Finn.

Now I?m old and I smoke Marlborough lights and often feel nostalgic about my old pipe.

[Keef]

I must admit I usually smoke Marlboro Lights these days. I do like Reds, but they don't like my chest (yeah yeah, I know asthma and smoke....) :-S

Totally agree with Jah about fags like B&H!
