As a reformed smoker, I would ban smoking in the middle of the Kalahari desert.

Funnily enough, banning smoking indoors is the only reason I've ever smoked.

If you're at a club and everyone/most people I'm with smoke then I'll follow them outside. Then I can either
a) Look on disapprovingly
b) Have a ciggarette with them

In fact, smoke breaks are a great excuse if you don't want to dance/stand in a corner. Plus asking for/lighting a cigarette is a great icebreaker. But I've never had one outside those particular situations, and I say I don't smoke if they ask in normal situations.

Not that I disagree with the ban. Just saying how it does encourage me to smoke every now and then on a night out.

Edit: Just realised my avatar has a cigarette.....I was just looking for a skeptical looking face on google I swear!

Something I've considered, but don't do.

Dude, smoke breaks at work are the best. Especially when you're the only person at work who smokes. Light one up for irresponsibility.

Smokers are the modern day lepers in the UK and are gradually being ostracized from society, that's great I suppose if you don't want to be part of society.

Indeed, especially if you come with a surprise spliff in your carton, that's always either a very terrifying or fantastic experience. I don't take smoke breaks too often, but often enough to where people don't notice when I go out for a smoke break.

Smoke breaks are allowed in most work places though. Especially if there is nothing to do, so it's nothing special here.

Hmm I think smoking is not bad as it is the taste of an individual to live the life with fun and enjoy. So, I am agree with smoking in bars but in the smoking area. I too do the same.:beer:
