As one of the killers,oops,sorry,smoker,whose only posting on the topic was off topic,the infamous " lumps",which upset a lady of delicate disposition,I totally agree we should get back on course.
I'me a smoker,a heavy smoker,have smoked for years,if you put me in the smoking Olympics I would walk away with a barrow load of gold medals.
However I totally support the smoking ban in principle but not in how it has been introduced.As I see it a total clampdown has been orchestrated with no provision made for a section of the population who do smoke.Arguing purely for bars,why can't a smoking section be put aside for smokers,the bar owners I'me sure would be happy to oblige,no loss in profits,the non smokers would be happy,I would be happy.
Or better still why do'nt they ban the sale of cigarettes completely then everybody would be happy.
PS.,still paying 3lira for my beer.
