Looks like the price of cigarettes is about to rocket.

Yes ..but unfortunately they plague the internet.

Arthur..Glad you are still able to enjoy a smoke in your own home but Im certain that there are busy body dogooder nurse maids somewhere right now plotting to remove even that simple pleasure from you...
They are busy gathering statistics and lies to use against you in the near future as we speak. For your own good..Of course!!

If by the expression "do gooder" you mean protecting the unborn and children then so be it. Guilty as charged.

Protecting those that have no choice but to inhale someone else's smoke.

Hmm we're getting a bit high and mighty here Lid. I can understand having just had a baby you wish to protect the little one and yet by your own admission you had 2 children with a woman who smoked like a chimney.......What was the difference

Not high and mighty. Just aware. Obviously it helps that I don't smoke to have a detached view but I am firmly against smoking and have good reason to be. Thats it.

Difference in the women? One smoked and the other doesn't.

If you have kids that have suffered from smoking related illnesses then it does focus your mind as an anti-smoker.

i am glad someone else mentioned this,we all have made mistakes in the past whether its smoking or anything, its what happens now, like i said no one smokes in my house and if my grandkids are here then they are safe from smoke, but once out of my sight its down to their own family or parents, i will do my best for any child, just like many on here would,but if you smoke it does not make you a bad parent, just remember that

Smokers that I know would never smoke in my house as there are kids in the house and its house rules anyway.. They smoke on the exterior balcony with an ice cold beer.
I dont need legislation to educate and force me to act in a way that is purely common sense...Very irritating.

We had a British ex smoker complaining about excessive smoke in my mates bar just the other day... My mate barred him!!
I love it here.
