Thank you for your post Tony , very refreshing to to read an understanding point of view.
And Brian , I must in all honesty say that I live in a civilised country where the suffering you describe
is deemed not to be necessary - and you can take that any way you like !.
Hi John, I was only saying that is what it was like for my two friends this year in Manchester, very sad thats all. It was a shock to watch them and be so helpless, I am taking Peter`s widow to Australia with us in January to help her to come to terms with her loss.
I do understand what it is like to be a smoker, it has helped me several times in hours of need and can be of a great help to steady the nerves and be a great comfort in times of stress.
Each to his own, I was just trying to help.
Cheers
Brian.
Many of our local councils have now banned smoking at outdoor cafes. They claim that patrons sitting at tables on the sidewalk pufing away polute the air that other non smokes breathe.
I agree with the sentiment, but what about all the polution from car exhausts as they roar by, or the diesel trucks pumping out black smoke? As an ex smoker I have no problem with those who continue to smoke,or take it up, it is their choice, freedom of choice a fundemental corner stone of our democracy.
Brian , I realise you were trying to be helpful and believe me I appreciate it. I'm only afraid I mayQuote:

I always say to the wife when she talks about a gift for herself.
Love, you have me, what more could you want.
Her reply is unprintable!

Hi, I always say to my wife she is lucky, she`s got me, i`ve only got her !!!
Some time back the wife decided to quit the evil weed.
One morning, a few days in to the quest for clear lunges and clean air.
I said 'good morning dear'
She replied 'are you looking for an argument'?
Says I to myself, on the way to the store to buy her a pack of fags.
Self,this is not good for her health, but it may prolong mine!!
Selfish attitude I know, but hey one also has to look after ones self.
Den.
As mentioned previously. She is now a none smoker for over two months. Good for both of us, so far.
