I was a delighted to hear on the radio that in a recent survey 3 out of 4 people in the UK would like to see a ban on smoking in public places. Although i wasn’t asked, I am one of those people.

I wasn’t sure who carried out the survey but I think a couple of Cancer groups were involved, because one of their “spokesperson’s” came on and give a politically correct reason why people are in favour.

Lets just get one thing straight here! It isn’t because 3 out of 4 people believe it’s bad for your health, which was the spin this spokesperson put on it. No the reason’s much simpler than that.

Putting the tar, formaldehyde, arsenic and cyanide issues aside for a moment, smoking is an outdated anti-social pastime that makes people’s breath smell like an ashtray, causes people’s eyes to water and swell up, renders your clothes unwearable and unwashable, gets in your hair and every other part of your anatomy you would care to mention and BLOODY STINKS!
