Is it just me?

Right, anyone who reads my (shameful mumble)myspaceblogs(/shameful mumble) will have heard this rant before, if this is you, please leave now.

The smoking ban.

What is really the point in all of this, whatsssss the point. Excuse me for saying, hold on a second - naw. I'm not a big smoker and i'm not complaining cause 'ah luv a fag in the pub' I don't right, I just find it a little bit rediculous. WHY, can't you have a smoke nowadays without someone in a ten mile radius reminding you that actually, they might inhale this and die immediatly, or oh god, my hair get's smelly when im around smokers.

Right, here's what you're saying, it's for health reasons - and it's not fair that you have to breathe it in when you don't choose too. Fair enough, I understand this comment, however - health reasons? Let's make scotland healthy, let's maybe close down every chippy in every town and heck, let's go ahead and close down pubs. Why are we cracking down on this and saying something that once was alright in the public isnt? Oh it's not addictive or anything, don't worry. All it means is people will have to stay inside, no biggie.

Here is the cruncher aswell, are people going to stop smoking? No they are not - this isn't going to inspire people to stop, people aren't going to suddenly say 'BLIMEY! IS THIS ACTUALLY BAD FOR ME!?' And people who were around other smokers and complained were never going to start anyway, what difference is this going to make? It's about as hopeful as stopping global warming, excuse me while I go and be a little bit sarcastic there.


I don't think it's fair to favour one half of the population and put the other in a bad position. Did you know you can't smoke in public places? Ofcourse you did, did you know this means if you get a job on a ship for say, ooh three months at sea, you can't smoke? Jeeze, talk about harsh.

Who were the people who decided this was a good move, is it going to stop people smoking , no way - people will just stay in to smoke around their children more. Problem solved right? wrong.

What kind of place is this where your habits are praised one minute and rejected the next? Hardcore veggies im sure would like resteraunts to turn around and say, eating meat in public places is now banned - it actually offends vegetarians and might make them sick if they see it or smell it.

I don't think so.

:/

hello all, I feel like I should draw your attention to my very dear friend tobias , who has gotten rather recognised the past while - he just did a video for the band areogramme and has got some lovely photography (It is not me in some of the pictures, thank you) have a look.
