Smoking 08:50 - May 20 with 7058 views | FrimleyBlue | Now. Im a caring smoker. I.E i wont smoke where I shouldnt. So why should I be forced into buying more than I need? And paying over the odds for the previlage for something which is my choice? Are they going to make all beers the same. Only come in 2 litre bottles at £30 each. Or mars bars twice the lengh with no singles available to buy. If kids wanna smoke. They will smoke. Changing it to 20 makes no difference theyll just club togethee and get s pack so your actually making the kids buy more than they normally would. I just dont get how the government can decide what a 31 year old man wants to buy. | |

Smoking on 09:14 - May 20 with 3340 views | blue_oyster | Smoking should never have been legalised, but governments bowed to massive pressure and allowed it before looking into the harmful effects. It's so hard to roll back to changes. They are likely to make the same mistake with cannabis. | |

That's not how it works sadly. If you have them in your pocket, you smoke them. Lots of people bought ten boxes as a way of limiting themselves. | |

You're right, but it's not a rational thing for some of us. I do have a vape for when I'm in the office though. | |

Couldn't you keep an old pack and put the other there then just take out one pack of 10 at a time. Ok might take a bit more effort but still can be done. I appreciate you might be out Nd this is not possible but just need to be more organised. I know it's an addiction so I don't really know what it is like having not smoked. | | | |

You're right of course, or I could get a little smoking tin / wallet thing. None of this makes sense (thanks for not being judgemental too!) | |

Smoking on 10:37 - May 20 with 3212 views | dickie | I detest smoking, it absolutely stinks, as do people who do it. I can't stand walking through it outside, it should be banned everywhere except people's own homes | | | |

Agree about detesting it. I think banning it outside is a bit much though. | |

I hate the small of diesel being burnt - fine in people's homes, but not outside. Also the smell of people who've been drinking beer when I haven't on the tube - ban them too. | |

What a rubbish argument. Agree about banning/easing out diesel. And indeed petrol (good luck with that yeh). Ban people who smell of yoghurt. | |

It is indeed a rubbish argument - diesel fumes do a lot more damage than those who smoke outside, so not comparable at all. Yoghurt is yesterday's news - musili is where it's at nowadays | |

I completely agree, diesel should be phased out followed by petrol | | | |

Its not that simple. When you buy a ten. Mentally you make them last do spread the time between fags. With 20. You mentally think its alright got another 19. 18 17 etc. So you actually end up smoking more and before you know it the 20s gone and your onto another 20. So technically you are correct. However the mindset takes over. | |

I detest the smell of booze on people. Or the smell of BO. And plenty of other smells that are out there. Lets ban everything. Its my choice. I enjoy it. Will i die from it. Probably. Althought the fatness might do the job too. I just find it baffling how the decision of what i want to buy isnt mine. | |

Vapists p1ss me off more than non smokers. They stand there with a fecking great brick in their hand and fill the room with 5 cubic tonnes of nauseous scented smoke. They all look holier than though and have a habit of nodding their head as they suck on their brick. They always remind me of bearded history teachers. | |

so it is a lack of willpower/mental strength on your part, rather than the packaging ? | | | |
